Order formAbout our Honey - Our honey is raw, unheated and unfiltered. That is, our raw honey is only strained to remove any bits of honey comb wax, so it still contains original pollen because it is not filtered. We do not heat the honey like commercial honey packers do to break down any sugar crystals. That is why their honey will stay clear on the supermarket shelf. Of course, heat above 115 deg destroys the antioxidants, important enzymes, vitamins and other beneficial attributes. Also many people find that heated honey looses much of its natural aroma and flavor.

We are a small producer with several hives on our own property located in a rural area away from commercial property and agricultural chemical use. Our apiary has been operated as an organic apiary for a number of years. The honey is produced in organic hives and is handled to organic standards. We depend on the bees for the rest.

Quiz: This may help some appreciate honey bees a bit more:
Since one worker bee can gather 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime, how many bees would be necessary to gather 1 pint of honey? Hint: (3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon, 16 tablespoons = 1 cup, 2 cups = 1 pint). Answer can be found on this page.
