Just bottled raw honey

We experienced heavy colony losses over the
 07-08 winter.  As of late spring 2008 we keep
nineteen hives of Italian,  Carniolan,  and
Buckfast strains of honeybees from which we
harvest comb honey and extract raw liquid honey. 
Within the honey industry our honey would be
defined as wildflower honey as our bees forage
over an area with a wide variety of blooms that
include clover, apricot, pear, apple, basil, alfalfa,
and calendula and we don't attempt to harvest
during any particular bloom time. 

Our honey is not heated during processing thus maintaining all of the natural flavor, enzymes and goodness of true raw honey.  We do not use synthetic pesticides and have not used medications but instead rely on management intensive methods to deal with parasites and disease.  

We package our honey in several forms and sizes including: cut-comb, chunk honey and liquid honey from 4oz - 44oz bottles/jars.  Bulk honey is also available by the pound.

Mail Order service is available for our honey.
E-mail us for details.

 

Key Benefits

  • Comb or raw liquid honey - unaltered from what the bees
     give us

  •    Honey has been attributed, scientifically and anecdotally,
       with a wide range of virtues:

    • antibacterial dressing for cuts, scrapes and burns

    • honey consumption raises levels of antioxidents which are believed to aid in prevention of heart disease, stroke and cancer

    • soothes sore throats

    • insomnia aid

    • potential treatment for stomach ulcers

    • energy booster

    • can reduce seasonal allergy symptoms

    • diet aid (In addition to maintaining sugar levels, honey may keep you feeling fuller longer while satisfying your sweet tooth.)
