About Our Farm

R and R Acres is a small, family owned Apiary and Homestead in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. We love the mix of pine trees and palm trees and enjoy southern living. Our bees seem to like it too. They love to buzz about the farm and see what is good to collect. We do keep our bees on a variety of local farms. This gives our bees a wide range to forage and help them find the nutrition they need. This also benefits our own health as the honey we eat is a blend of all the pollen of the lowcountry. During the spring, we sell the bees in nucleus colonies and during the Spring and Summer, weather permitting, we will also have locally bred queens available. Our family is also active in the state and local beekeeping clubs. Rebecca is a certified Master Beekeeper with the South Carolina Beekeeper Association. Trinity is a Journeyman level beekeeper and 2023 Jr Beekeeper of the year. Steven earned his Certified Beekeeper credentials in 2023,

In addition to the bees and honey we offer fresh eggs, homestead raised pork, pastured poultry, all natural body products, and some goats and goat yoga, We stay busy! All of our pork is born and raised right here on the farm. All the meat, when ready, is packed by a USDA facility to ensure safe meats for our family as well as yours. Our eggs and hand gathered each day from our pastured chickens and packaged for sale at a few markets and on the farm.

Coming soon….Blackberries!!

 

Local Honey

We harvest honey straight from our bees. We do not add chemicals, water, or heat the honey. It is as natural as you can get. Our supply is seasonal. When we run out, it is gone until next year. We only sell our own honey so we can ensure that the honey is natural and of top quality.  Click our link to find out what is available.

Hive Products

Bees make much more than just honey. We use the wax and propolis they make and the pollen they collect and package it for you or make it into natural skin care products. Keep an eye out in our shop for new products or to order your favorite. Click the link for our Skin and Body Care Line. We also have a line of soaps!

Everyone needs a goat

What kind of farm would we be without a few bouncing goats all around? A pretty boring one that’s for sure. We milk our goats on our farm every day. We use that milk to create our goat milk soap, have goat milk soap making classes, goat yoga, and a few extra kids for sale in the Spring.

Fresh Homestead Pork

On our farm, in the middle of the Francis Marion National Forest we raise our very own heritage breed pigs. We breed for strength, gentleness, and flavor. We raise our pigs on pasture and the heritage breeds do best with the pasture range setting.
