About The Farm
Gooserock Farm, located in Montville, NJ, sits on the shores of Gooserock Pond, a haven for wildlife, including Canada geese who in some years nest on the large rock in the middle of the pond. Visitors are welcome to visit the Honey House, where honey and other farm products are offered for sale. Unfortunately, we do not offer farm tours as we are kept busy way beyond normal working hours just caring for the bees and making our honey and beeswax products. You can check out what we're doing on our Facebook page.
On August 24, 2011, our son Adrian was seriously wounded by a Taliban-planted IED while serving as a Marine Corps infantryman in Afghanistan. As a result, he lost both legs above the knee. It was a rough year for our family but some of the burdens were eased by the Semper Fi Fund, a A+ rated charitable organization dedicated to helping Marines and their families. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to Semper Fi. You can read more about them and about Adrian's progress on the "Semper Fi" link. And if you visit us at the farm, you'll find a table in the Honey House all set up to accept donations year-round.
Landi, a certified Master Beekeeper, is an active member of the New Jersey Beekeepers Association. She is past president of the Essex County Beekeepers Society, past Director of the Eastern Apiculture Society (EAS) Master Beekeepers, and served as Chairman of the Certification Committee for the EAS Master Beekeepers for ten years. She teaches beekeeping classes locally and is a sought-after speaker both in and out of NJ.
Over the years, the farm has enjoyed help from non-family members who have become like family to us. We are very, very grateful for their friendship and support.
Our Products
We produce raw, minimally filtered local NJ honey. Most of our hives are in the Montville-Boonton Township area. The beeswax we harvest from our colonies goes to make fine hand-crafted creams, soaps, lip balms, candles and other crafts. Gooserock Farm has taken hundreds of prizes for its honey, candles and cosmetics in local, state, and regional shows. Many of our regular customers take our local honey for allergies. We make no health claims but many people feel local honey, especially raw unfiltered honey, is helpful with seasonal allergies. And it sure tastes great!
Apiaries
We currently maintain about 100 colonies of honey bees in apiaries in Pine Brook, Towaco, Montville, and Boonton Township, in northern New Jersey.
