What's so special about honey?
Honey is God's natural sweetener, a nourishing food full of immune building properties. Raw honey has a healthy glycemic index, meaning it is slowly released into the bloodstream. This avoids the "sugar spike" that can be so detrimental to one's health.
Over the last several decades, the honey bee population has been diminished, greatly impacting our plants' ability to pollinate. Honey bees are absolutely critical to the welfare of our food supply in America, with over 1/3 of our food supply in jeopardy if they die out.
Buying honey from a local beekeeper supports local farming and is a healthy alternative to sweets.
More about our apiary
Our apiary is committed to educating consumers on the benefits of raw, local honey. During the spring and summer, our bees flourish on the abundant array of Virginia wildflowers and tulip poplars. In the winter, we move our hives to Florida and extract delicious orange blossom honey for the spring. Raw honey from local beekeepers is quite different from honey found at grocery stores, much of which is imported, processed and pasturized. If you want the benefits of consuming honey that has not been treated with chemicals or heated at high temperatures, which kills off the nutrients and healthy enzymes, finding a local source of honey is a wise choice.
