Brushy Mountain Bees Farm www.brushymountainbeefarm.com/Brushy Mountain Bee Farm was established by Steve and Sandy Forrest and opened for business in 1977. It began as a part time business with the office and wood shop in the home of Steve and Sandy. In 1980 it grew into a full time business that spread into an old barn that was on the property and a small two-room house. A year later a 200 year old log cabin was moved from an adjacent property and attached to the two room house to form the retail and storage facility for the business. The first warehouse was built in 1983 for storage and shipping and the offices were moved into the log cabin. As the business grew more buildings were added and today it occupies over 30,000 square feet under roof with a wood shop, metal shop, sewing room, and warehouse space. Brushy Mountain continues to expand and provide products from coast to coast and beyond. Since 1998 we have had our catalog on-line and an e-commerce site for the convenience of our customers.
