Local Honey Cambridge

Old Forge Honey is a family-run beekeeping business based in Sawston, South Cambridgeshire, operated by Ross and Sarah. Their apiaries are spread across multiple locations including Little Shelford, Hauxton, and Great Chesterford, giving their bees access to diverse forage and producing honeys with distinctive local character.

They offer a range of honey varieties including Cambridgeshire Runny, Cambridgeshire Set, North Essex Borage, and Warwickshire Echium — each with its own unique flavour profile from different floral sources. Beyond honey, Old Forge produces beeswax candles, beeswax melts, mead, and personalised wedding and party favours with custom tags, making them a popular choice for local events.

The business holds a 5-star food hygiene rating and also supplies beekeeping equipment and hive parts to fellow beekeepers. They operate by appointment from their base at 28 Babraham Road, Sawston, and sell through their online shop, local retailers, and at farmers' markets and fairs throughout the region. Gift boxes and hampers are available for those looking for a locally-made present with a personal touch.
