About Us

Hello from Turnview Farm Honey! Owned and operated by Paul and Emily Turner and located just north of Barrie at 1906 South Orr Lake Road.

Both Paul and Emily grew up on dairy farms. Paul is a graduate of the University of Guelph (agriculture) and Emily is a Registered Nurse. Together we have farmed for over forty years. We started our beekeeping journey 20 years ago and we continue to grow our business fueled by a passion for honeybee biology and beekeeping practices.

So, what’s all the “BUZZ” about? Turnview Farm Honey is available at several local stores and businesses including Elmvale Foodland, Craighurst Foodland, Country Produce. and Farmraised Products (Innisfil and GTA) . We also have a regional rep for Eastern Ontario. We offer bulk, wholesale and retail sales. If you need your honey containers filled/refilled, please reach out to us directly (please refer to our contact page). 

Turnviewfarm Honey also produces and sells other hive products including cut comb honey, propolis, bee pollen, beeswax and all natural skin creams.

Our honeybee yards are located throughout the region of North Simcoe County producing coveted delicious wildflower honey from lovely picturesque summer meadows. Every effort is made to protect our colonies from modern mono crop agricultural practices.

Honeybee colony health is a top priority and we are proud of our stellar survival rates and honey production over the past 20 years.

We are committed to a lifestyle of producing, buying and consuming local food while supporting the local economy. 

Busy bees! The honey bee is our insect ally and much can be learned or gained from trying to understand the ancient honey bee culture dating back to about 9000 years ago!

Amazing! We are continually fascinated by and in awe of our honeybees! We like to emphasize that we really do not keep bees but rather we facilitate their natural way of existence with the wonderful result being raw, natural, golden, sweet tasting honey that we can share with you!

How sweet it is! Honey was and still is highly prized by humans. Bees and honey were endowed by the ancient Greeks with religious and poetic symbolism. Honey bee colonies were part of early human “medicine cabinets”. Honey is still used medicinally with several health benefits including wound care, digestive and immune system health. Other hive products including propolis, bee pollen, royal jelly and beeswax also provide amazing health benefits.

We are very grateful to our family who take an active interest in our business. We take pride in promoting efficient and conscientious beekeeping practices. Thank you for stopping by to see us. We appreciate you and value your business.

Warm Regards,

Paul and Emily Turner
