ORLAND, CA (MPG) - The Honeybee Discovery Center is hosting a Sun Up Brunch for Bees fundraiser from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Sunday, April 14. Farmers Brewing Co. and the California State University, Chico Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems (CRARS) are sponsoring the event, which takes place at Farmers Brewing Co. Production Facility located at 880 County Rd. WW, Princeton.

The Sun Up Brunch for Bees fundraiser will be a bee-inspired morning, filled with a mouthwatering breakfast charcuterie by Butte Creek BBQ, and a signature Farmer’s Sunrise breakfast beer developed by the Farmers Brewing Co. team. Farmer’s bar will be open for beer sampling and guests will enjoy live music by Max Minardi.

Founded in 2017 by fifth-generation farmers, Farmers Brewing Co. is 100% family owned and located in Princeton, CA. Their focus is on creating sessionable style beers that are clean, crisp, and easy to drink for all. Farmers Brewing Co. prides itself on crafting beers using high-quality grains grown right on the farm.  For more information, visit www.farmersbrewing.com and follow Farmers Brewing Co. on Facebook and Instagram.

Hands-on activities include Beeswax Candle Rolling, where the art of crafting beeswax candles comes to life and a CRARS demonstration on cover crops, pollinators, and soil health, and small sample cover crop seed packets for attendees. The Honeybee Discovery Center will also offer a pop-up version of its curated gift shop featuring artisan gifts and local honey. All gift shop proceeds will benefit the Honeybee Discovery Center.

"Our primary focus for this event is to raise awareness about the Honeybee Discovery Center's mission and purpose,” explains Carolina Burreson, CEO and board member. “We are able to educate a wider audience with partners such as Farmer’s Brewing Co. and CRARS.”

Brunch participants will learn more about the field trips for local schools, the Center’s future, and how they can support these vital pollinators that contribute to our local ecosystem.

Tickets for the brunch are $60 per person or $75 with the inclusion of a Farmer’s Sunrise and commemorative glass. Tickets can be purchased online at www.HoneybeeDiscoveryCenter.org.
