Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce, community members, and local leaders gathered in a July 2 ribbon cutting for Luna Bee Farms, located at 25550 W. Cuba Road in Barrington.
Luna Bee Farm is a six-acre destination in Barrington where blooming lavender fields, pollinator-friendly gardens, and beehives create a serene space rooted in sustainability and connection, according to a news release.
Founded by Alina and Gardiner Sutton, the farm grew from Alina’s lifelong love of gardening, which was first inspired by her great-grandfather’s garden in Romania and later nurtured in her own backyard in Chicago, the release said. In 2021, the Suttons moved their family to Barrington to bring this vision to life.
“Luna Bee was built with heart, hard work, and a vision for bringing people together through nature,” Alaina Sutton said. “We are so grateful for the support of this community and excited to welcome others to experience the peace and beauty that blooms here.”
In addition to a beautiful selection of plants, flowers, herbs, and upcycled furniture, Luna Bee hosts a variety of community events and wellness experiences, according to the release. Regular offerings include yoga in the lavender fields, kid-friendly workshops, and creative collaborations with local artisans and businesses.
According to the release, signature experiences like Petals to Pour invite guests to craft floral-forward mocktails using fresh garden herbs and botanicals, a refreshing way to connect with nature and creativity at the farm.
Luna Bee Farm is open for events and by appointment, with ongoing updates shared on its website, lunabeefarm.com, and Instagram, @lunabeefarm. For more information, call (224) 454-3318.
