Nao & Mark

Honey Grove is the long time dream of Nao and Mark Sims, it is the result of their heartfelt dedication to a more sustainable way of life. Nao grew up on 160 acres in British Columbia’s wild interior with beekeeping- homesteading parents.

For Nao this upbringing instilled a life long interest to live simply and close to the earth. Mark grew up on the southern coast of England, where he was raised in a family of plant enthusiasts, his father being one of England’s leading botanists.

Nao and Mark met traveling in the Himalaya’s 14 years ago, where they first discovered their shared love of a simpler and more sustainable way of life.
