Welcome to Naturley in Fruition, a family owned and operated farmette and apiary. Located among the rolling hills of Hancock, Maryland, our 25 acre property features hundreds of native and domestic berry bushes, trees, and plants that may be consumed and utilized for sustenance and holistic treatments. With numerous beautiful resting spaces and miles of well maintained hiking trails to observe our woods and wildlife, our farmette is a peaceful haven that overlooks the Potomac River and the wild, wonderful mountains of West Virginia.
Our Dream Homestead
Shortly after acquiring our property in late 2023, we began the hard work of building our dream homestead and future together. In the Spring of 2024, we planted 60+ berry bushes and trees to include elderberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, mulberries, crabapples, and persimmons. Many of the berries were planted with the goal of utilizing for future preparation of natural foods and holistic supplements. The trees were primarily planted to support the deer and other wildlife populations on and around our property, yet will also provide delicious treats for us and our loved ones.
Hard-Working Honey Bees
In May 2024, we brought our first 2 beehives home. We have experienced gains and losses, ending 2025 with 8 hives. While we had some winter losses, we are not defeated and plan to continue to grow our apiary. Our first 2 years of beekeeping were filled with learning from mentors, formally and informally, in effort to keep our honey bees happy and healthy and well prepared to survive the winter. We have thoroughly enjoyed learning about and getting to know our hard-working honeybees! Our goals are to at least double our hive count each year over the next 5 to 10 years and utilize the raw honey to distribute locally as well as produce health supplements including Elderberry syrup and berry/herbal infused honeys. In 2025, we also began the process of experimenting with aging our honey in barrels previously used fine spirits. Due to MD processing laws, in order to continue to produce and sell this product, we are commencing the process of building an on-farm processing facility in 2026.
An Abundance of Healing Plants
We have scoured our property, located, and foraged an abundance of what many people would consider ‘weeds,’ yet have amazing medicinal properties, such as plantain, yucca, mullein, and mint. We have also built several raised garden beds and begun growing other well-known plants with medicinal traits such as wild lettuce, yarrow, borage, calendula, valerian, and cayenne peppers. Reach out to Becky to schedule a personal walk about to learn about and identify native plants, fungi, and trees. She has been scouring the forests of western Maryland since childhood and still finds nature to be her most peaceful place. She hikes our property with our pups nearly daily year round for personal well being, and she would love to share her passions with you.
Therapeutic Retreats
Becky has been in the social work field since 1998, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Maryland and/or Pennsylvania since 2004. While still owning and operating an outpatient therapy practice part time, she is now focusing on pairing the practices and skills she has utilized in office with clients for the past two decades as well as her lifelong love of and passion for nature to execute educational and supportive day activities and retreats for women, men, couples, and groups. Please contact her directly to discuss your needs and determine what would best suit you, as each activity and experience is personally designed and tailored.
