Honey Farms & Apiaries near Williamston, MI

Howell

Hazen's Farm is a family-owned u-pick blueberry farm in Howell, Michigan, begun when Arthur Hazen cleared land in the 1950s and planted over 25 acres of blueberry bushes with his son Dennis. Open Tuesday through Sunday in season, the farm pairs picking with Sweet Marias bakeshop — homemade pies, ice cream, cookies, and muffins made with farm-grown fruit — plus raw honey.

Potterville

Queen Bee Apiary keeps hives around Potterville and bottles raw and whipped honey, along with beeswax candles, lip balm, and honey soap. Registered as an LLC in 2021, the operation forages bees in unsprayed areas and skips antibiotics, with a stated mission of teaching visitors how to help honeybees survive, not just selling jars off a shelf.

Fenton

Rex Apiary has kept bees in the Irish Hills lake district for more than 50 years, formalizing as an LLC in 2019 under registered agent Karen Rex. They plant fields specifically to shape what their bees forage on, plus raise queen bees and nucleus colonies for other beekeepers. Their honey turns up locally at Heavenly Scent Herb Farm and C A LaMont Farms in Fenton, or direct through their website.

Heffernan's Honey & Beekeeping Supply is a father-and-son operation selling raw, local honey from 12oz jars up to 48oz, packaged in glass or squeeze bottles, alongside equipment for other beekeepers. There's no online checkout; orders go by phone. The business puts weight on quality testing and straightforward service, and the family traces its beekeeping approach back to Irish tradition.
