Our Story
Our all natural products are more and more relevant to today's consumers who are concerned about where their food comes from, and the processes it has been through. We are in the business of putting honey in our own jars because we believe the customer has the right to know where their honey comes from - from floral source to the final product. As beekeepers, we know that much of the honey offered today is produced overseas and processed under unacceptable conditions here in the USA. Often, handlers and middlemen blend honeys from different beekeepers before bottling to make the product consistent, resulting in loss of distinctive flavoring.
Other honey producers apply heat and filtration to the honey to promote shelf life by reducing or delaying the occurrence of the natural granulation process. This idea serves only the packer or handler who seeks to avoid the inconvenience of replacing granulated honey on the shelf with a clear product. This runs contrary to the whole idea that honey should be consumed in its natural state, with pollen grains and enzymes present from the floral source.
In addition, the honey handling and packing industry has chosen to promote only the lighter colored honey as "best" for table consumption. Over time, this has resulted in the perception that honey is boring and bland to the taste, when exactly the opposite is the case. The introduction of single source honeys offer people variety of tastes - as different as the trees and flowers themselves.
