Our honey is always raw and 100% natural. We separate honey varieties by seasons and use natural beekeeping methods. We do not use any heat or pressure-filtering in the extraction and packaging process.
Raw honey crystallizes naturally over time and is a sign of quality. If you prefer liquid honey you can place the jar in a bowl of warm water. Up to 115f (46c) will preserve its good qualities.
We may not have all honey varieties available each year.
