- Please only arrange to make a pick up if you are in good health.
- We will greet you at our front door or curbside at your car (and our apologies, not shake your hand) wearing a nose and mouth covering, and put on fresh gloves.
- We will maintain 6-foot social distancing at all times.
- We will disinfect your jars/bottles in front of you, and place them in a paper bag, which we will place in our contactless "cardboard box transition container" and pass it over to you.
- If paying with a card, we will sanitize your card when we receive it, complete your transaction, and sanitize it again before returning it to you, all using our contactless "cardboard box transition container".
- If you will be signing for your purchase, we will disinfect the signature panel first.
- If paying by cash, consider paying with exact change to eliminate the need for you to take change back (we can always make change if you need us to).
- Don't forget that for a truly contactless experience we accept any form of tap-and-pay (Smartphone Payment App, Apple Watch, Contactless Debit/Credit Card, etc). We can also accept EBT.
-> Do you already have a Contactless Debit/Credit Card and not know it? Check for the contactless symbol on the front or back of your card. To pay contactlessly, simply touch your contactless card against the reader. A beep &/or green light shows your payment is being processed.
A broader version of this protocol is also in place as we sell at the North San Diego / Sikes Adobe - Certified Farmers Market.
For custom orders, please contact CLAIRE by cell at 858-735-5311 or email us at [email protected].
Regarding our other weekly Farmers Markets:
- The Tuesday Escondido Certified Farmers' Market is on hiatus, as directed by the City of Escondido.
- The Friday Rancho Bernardo Certified Farmers Market is on hiatus, as directed by the Bernardo Winery.
- The Saturday PQ Certified Farmers Market has CLOSED PERMANENTLY.
Stay healthy, and keep safe. We are committed to keeping you connected with your honey!

Certified Farmers Markets in San Diego County are slowly starting to reopen on modified basis with public health protocols in place, and RFB Family Farm and Apiaries local raw honey is available through some of our "usual" and some alternate sources.
1- The Sunday North San Diego / Sikes Adobe - Certified Farmers Market at the Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead reopened on a modified basis with a Park Ranger on site, on Sunday March 29. It runs 10:30am-3:30pm every Sunday and you can always find us there.
2- The Farm Stand West in Escondido (I-15 at Citracado) is being provided with supplies of our honey for sale on a regular basis.
3- Sunny Side Kitchen in Escondido (Pick-up/Take-out and Delivery only) has a small supply of our honey for sale.
4- CUSTOM ORDERS. In response to the Public Health Orders as they were announced, RFB promptly established our "to-go" / "curbside pick-up" protocols policy, which we have been operating under since March 12th, and have updated as orders were revised.
Monday-Saturday, we are happy to arrange getting a purchase of our honey to you. We will assist each shopper individually, with pick up from us in person at our location in Rancho Penasquitos. As always, we can accept all forms of payment, cash, credit/debit, or for a truly contactless experience we accept any form of tap-and-pay (Smartphone Payment App, Apple Watch, Contactless Debit/Credit Card, etc). We can also accept EBT.
