Mr Smith’s Honey
Stephen Smith is a local beekeeper based in West Berkshire and the founder of Mr. Smith’s Honey. He produces pure, raw, unprocessed honey from hives across the Newbury and Wasing areas, guided by a simple philosophy: let the bees do what they do best, and keep the honey exactly as nature intended.
Working with apiaries located around the beautiful Wasing Estate, his bees forage across a rich and diverse landscape of wildflowers, woodlands and parkland. This gives each harvest its own distinct flavour, reflecting the seasons and the natural environment in which it was made.
Mr. Smith’s Honey specialises in small-batch honey, carefully harvested and jarred to preserve its natural character. Nothing is added, nothing is taken away – just pure, local honey, produced with care and respect for the bees.
You can meet Stephen and taste his latest batches at the upcoming ‘Well Read’ festival at Wasing Estate, where he shares his passion for beekeeping and the craft behind every jar.
