LOCALLY SOURCED
RAW HONEY
You simply can’t beat the quality of honey that comes straight from the hive. Not only is it significantly more delicious than store-bought honey (which is commonly filled with syrups), it also has proven health benefits too!
Behind the Harvesting Process
Take an inside look at how we harvest & bottle honey straight from the hive. There are no other ingredients like syrups or sweeteners involved, just pure, raw honey!
It All Begins with the Bees
Bee’s are sensitive creatures and require a lot of hard work to keep them happy, safe, and healthy. This means providing shelter and proper nutrition, and being extra cautious and gentle when harvesting their honey!
Then Comes Extraction
Honey is extracted from the comb via a machine called a centrifuge. While most of them are powered, our frames are spun by hand in a manual centrifuge.
Then It’s Bottled for You!
We collect, extract, and bottle it! No other processing of our liquid gold. Once you eat natural raw honey, you’ll never look at your store-brand honey the same. Thats okay, theirs was likely filled with sweeteners and syrups anyways.
