About Us

We are from San Jose, the Garden City, where the soil is black alluvium, and beekeeping began in California.  Ten years ago, we started a small business called Knightsen Honey Company, selling honey from bees we keep.  We raise almost all the food we eat.  We drink milk from goats milked daily.  We shepherd a flock of sheep, delicious silent lawn-mowers.  Gina, the donkey, protects the sheep.  A busy flock of chickens give eggs and meat while neutered cats keep things interesting.  We've fermented libations for 20 years, starting with beer, moving into mead and landing on wine.
