Haefeli's Honey

The Haefeli family are 5th generation bee keepers, caring for bees and producing honey in the San Luis Valley since 1907. Haefeli's produces around 350 barrels of honey from over 4,000 beehives in Colorado a year, as well as pollinating crops in the San Luis Valley, Texas and California. In 1903, Edward Haefeli, whose father, Adolph, was a beekeeper in Switzerland, arrived in the San Luis Valley and soon opened his beekeeping operation in Monte Vista, Colorado. Special creamed honeys, high-quality beeswax, candles, ornaments and specialty items are available at their store in Del Norte.
