We are a Veteran Owned, Family Run and Operated, Honey Bee Farm in Northwest Florida. We specialize in Premium Honey and Handcrafted Products. Register Family Farm is operated solely by members of the Register Family.

We are very particular about doing things well. Each product spends a considerable amount of time in development and testing before being approved for sale.

We currently produce our own Wildflower and Tupelo honey, creamed honey, bee pollen, 100% beeswax candles, natural soaps, lip balms, and lotion bars. We pride ourselves on keeping our honeybees healthy and producing quality products.

It has been quite an adventure thus far, and being able to work together as a family in an endeavor that inspires mutual passion is truly a blessing.

We believe in doing things well, and we sincerely hope that you see the difference. 

Meet the Registers 

Joseph & Elisabeth Register

Joseph is our founder, CEO and the visionary behind Register Family Farm, which he started in 2013. While he and Jeremiah were raising honeybees, learning the trade, and planning the next steps in the apiary's growth, Joseph and his wife Elisabeth learned how to bottle and package the honey, create the perfect soaps, lip balms, and candles, and market and sell the products at events and stores in the local area. It was an intense first few years getting the business off the ground, but we are all thankful for their hard work. Joseph and Elisabeth are both Veterans and former Officers in the Army.  Joseph was an Infantry Captain, and a RANGER qualified airborne officer who had a dream to create something of his own for his family. Elisabeth was an Airborne, Air Assault Military Police Captain who always pushed herself to achieve and be excellent in her field. Like Most dual military couples, Joseph and Elisabeth spent enough time apart during combat deployments and operational assignments to know that they wanted to have a close family that worked together to achieve something great. Joseph and Elisabeth now have five children. Jacob, Daniel, Benjamin, Grace, and Ruth are our next generation of beekeepers! 

Jeremiah Register

Jeremiah is a pillar of strength here at Register Family Farm. He helped start the apiary, and the tales of his and Joseph's struggles to learn the crazy world of commercial beekeeping are pretty epic. He has been the apiary manager since 2015 and is responsible for the day to day operations and welfare of the hives. His diligence, work ethic, and strict standard of excellence are the reasons for the Apiary's success. Jeremiah and Joseph grew the apiary to over 1,000 hives before receiving some much needed reinforcements from brother James and brother-in-law Alex in 2017. Jeremiah has always had a passion for plants and being outdoors, it was due to a need to pollinate his 30 something fruit trees plus Shelley’s garden, that gave him, Joseph and Gerry the idea to get their first beehives. Previously, Jeremiah was an Airborne, Air Assault and RANGER qualified Infantry Officer in the Army. He spent more than two years in Iraq in the early years of Operation Iraqi Freedom. He understands that working hard and having a desire to always grow personally and professionally are keys to a successful life. You will find Jeremiah working with the bees, planning the next steps for the apiary, building equipment or, in his free time, working out!

Gerry & Shelley Register

Shelley is the heart and soul of our family and we would never accomplish everything without her. She does everything from extracting honey, tending the non-bee farm animals, preparing meals to go for the busy work days, fixing and customizing our bee suits with her amazing sewing skills, and selling honey at markets and events.  Shelley has raised six children, and always volunteers to babysit her many grandkids, while still getting all her work done, so everyone else can accomplish their missions too.  She has been pivotal to the success of our business and invests countless hours behind the scenes to ensure that we are prepared to succeed.
