About Us
Bee Organic Farm & Apiary is a 10 acre farm nestled into the countryside of south Elma and is owned and operated by Rob & Rocki Horton since 2017. We grow organic fruits and variety of mixed vegetables, chicken eggs, and raw honey.

We are excited to grow for you and enjoy providing locally grown, farm fresh, nutritious food for our community, including restaurants, hospitals, and others throughout our region.
Practices
We grow organically while using regenerative principles to maintain great soil health, which is key to growing highly nutritious and great tasting food. In turn, healthy soil is linked to the health and wellbeing of living things, our planet, and what the health of our planet will be in the future.

Although we believe that farms do not need to be certified to grow great organic food, for us, we have learned a lot from each of our certifiers, including that our practices (some of which are listed below) exceed their requirements.

Our Certifications and practices:

• WSDA Certified Organic

• Real Organic Project (ROP), Certified Organic

• Currently working on Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC)

• Grower Training/Safe Food practices Certification, Produce Safety Alliance

• Beekeeper Certification, Lewis County Beekeepers Association

• Biologically Intensive Cropping

• Annual Crop Rotations

• Stale Seedbed Methods to maintain minimal weed pressure

• Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

• Cover Cropping
