Honey Farms & Apiaries near Oakland, CA

Oakland

Bee Healthy Honey Shop is a family business with beekeeping roots that trace back four generations to Yemen, now selling raw local honey, pollen, royal jelly, beeswax, and candles out of a small storefront on Telegraph Avenue in Oakland. Staff will transfer pollen into glass jars on request. It's a walk-in retail shop rather than a working apiary — a place to buy honey, not to visit hives.

The Ferry Building Marketplace counter is Carmel Honey Company's San Francisco stall, selling the same raw, unfiltered honey the company harvests from its own hives at its Monterey County locations. Look for jarred honey, honeycomb, and honey-based bath and beauty items alongside the company's gift boxes.

Carmel Honey Company runs a retail counter at Pier 39 in San Francisco, carrying the same raw, unfiltered honey the company harvests from hives it keeps and manages at its Monterey County home base. The lineup mirrors their coastal shops: jarred honey, honeycomb, and honey-based gift items.

San Mateo

The Honeyverse is a honey shop in San Mateo, on the Peninsula between San Francisco and the South Bay.

Belmont

Honey by the Bay keeps hives and sells honey out of Belmont, on the San Francisco Peninsula, closer to a small urban apiary operation than a traditional farm. No working website confirms current products, harvest season, or where to buy.

Belmont

Beekeeper Spencer Marshall has harvested raw, unfiltered honey in American Canyon since 1989, building Marshall's Farm Honey into a Bay Area staple over more than three decades. The honey is never heated or cooked, and the shop also carries bee pollen, honeycomb, and kosher-certified varieties. It started as a side business selling to Bay Area restaurants and grew from there.

Livermore

Lyman Backyard Honey sells raw honey from a small apiary near the corner of Arroyo Road and Rivers Bend Circle in Livermore, in the East Bay wine country. It reads as a small-scale operation selling direct from the hive rather than a storefront business.

Antioch

Jones Family Honey pairs small-batch honey sales with residential bee removal in Antioch, in eastern Contra Costa County. Outfits that combine live-hive removal with honey sales are common in this part of the Delta, where swarms move into attics and sheds every spring.
