Our honey....is simply the best!

Featured Article: The TRUTH about Organic Honey!

I am so delighted that we are in the time where grocery stores are offering more organic produce and food and that at farmers markets, you can buy pretty much everything you ever wanted that is organic. The idea behind organic is wonderful.... it makes a clear distinction between things grown pure and the conventionally farmed food.

It's important that people know what organic really is. What is covers and what it doesn't and the reasons behind it.

Angela and I sell pretty much all of our honey at farmers markets and through our web site. It concerns us when customers ask for organic honey. We politely tell them that organic honey is not possible but they mention they bought some from a beekeeper down the road. And it concerns us that more and more people are coming to our booths with this same notion. So this month, I thought I would share with you the whys on this topic in hopes to shed a little light on the false notion of organic honey.

Roxy wants you to know that each and every bottle of honey you order is hand bottled (yes, Isaac is in the corner, bottling everyone of them!) and comes from our bees that are treated with love (yes, Roxy has Angela kiss each and every bee before they go to bed). Every one of our bees lives a full life without any chemicals or antibiotics present. All of our honey is kept at its peak of quality due to NOT heating it, filtering the honey, or pasteurizing the honey. This ensures that each bottle of honey is packed full of all of natural goodies for you to enjoy!

Honey Granulation..... How do I fix it?!

When you bought your honey, it looked like the one in the middle, right? Does it now look like one of the left or right? If so, there are no worries at all. This is a natural process that happens with all raw unpasteurized honey.

AND..... remember... if your honey looks like the one on the left or right....DO NOT PANIC!....it's an easy fix!

The Brains..... & the Looks!

Meet.. The Boss! Ever wonder who the brains are behind the beehives and empty jars to be bottled? Yup, your looking at her. Roxy... (aka: The Boss) might be short, cute and cuddly but she comes with a fierce "snap the whip" sorta attitude. When she's not yelling at Isaac to fill more jars of honey or telling Anjela what to do, you can find her on the floor, eating crackers with fireweed honey or perhaps freshly made hummus with pretzels.

A Must Try Recipe!!!

Habenero Cream Cheese & Lox Sandwich!

This is a "must try" sandwich. Don't be turned off from the habenero honey. When we layer all of these flavors, textures, and tastes together, the habenero actually brings out the flavors and vise versa. Once you try it, feel free to email me for more ideas. I love caramelized onions, roasted onions, beets, cucumbers, and romaine lettuce. Try it.... you'll be suprised!

Swarm problem? We can help!

Part of caring for the honeybees is making sure that problem honeybee swarms are removed safely and returned to a location where they can thrive. We provide Swarm Removal services of all kinds. If you have a swarm and need help, check our Swarms page for information on how you can report the problem to us.

Bees, Honey, & Cancer….Is there a connection?

Several years ago an English beekeeper named “Bridge” commented on the fact that beekeepers rarely become ill and rarely, if ever, contract Cancer. This comment spawned a wave of research into the subject and the following are a couple of examples found. (more…)
