Buzz-feed alert! An extra sweet #FarmstandFriday c Buzz-feed alert! An extra sweet #FarmstandFriday courtesy of our honey bee habitat where our Farm Stand bees appreciate the blue borage and plenty of other pollen-producing flowers 🍯 🐝  At Earthbound Farm, the bees, butterflies (and other beneficial insects!) and birds are our friends. We keep millions of pounds of conventional agricultural chemicals out of the environment every year with organic farming practices. That protects our vital pollinator populations and makes for healthy soils, too.
