Lucky Frank Farms: ‘We were always meant to bee’

ARCADIA – Lucky Frank Farms’ story, Owner Jonas Schank said, started in 2013 when he and his wife decided to order their first two three-pound packages of honey bees.

Schank said they not only fell in love with the bees, but the honey they produced was the best they had ever tasted.

Today, he said Lucky Frank Farms – located at W26999 Gaveny Road in Arcadia – serves as a one-stop shop for all things honey, which, in addition to pure unfiltered bottled honey, includes candles and beeswax products.

Schank said the nectar-producing plants the bees visit are Basswood and locust trees, as well as clover, alfalfa, aster and goldenrod.
