Anna Wright will discuss bees and her Purple Valley Farm apiary, located in Jonesborough, Tennessee

Purple Valley Farm is an eco-friendly farm with a handful of hives nestled among our heirloom fruit trees. The farm is run by Kenilworth native, Anna Swisher Wright.  Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Jonesborough, TN, the farm operates the old-fashioned way, sustainably harvesting honey by hand and bottling one jar at a time. The presentation will cover the incredible life cycle of the honey bee, the anatomy of a hive, how honey is extracted, and what you can do to support bees in your neighborhoods and beyond. 

For those attending in person, samples of Purple Valley Farm honey will be available.
