Local Honey: The best way to source honey that is local to your area is to contact your local beekeeping association using the information below. Our beekeepers pride themselves on producing top-quality honey. We only harvest what the bees can spare, and we strain it gently to remove unwanted lumps of pollen and wax so that it retains all the goodness that our bees have added. Why buy honey from a local beekeeper? Read more HERE.
