Why go Local?

Our honey is 100% natural honey.  It has not been pasteurized nor mixed with corn syrup. People occasionally ask us why honey in the grocery stores is so much cheaper than locally produced honey. Much of the honey on store shelves originated from China.  There are some health concerns about imported Chinese honey. Additionally, anyone who is trying to mitigate seasonal allergies by using local non pasteurized honey will get no relief from honey produced overseas!

Local Honey for Allergies:

Local honey is well known to assist in allergy relief and is a rich source of antioxidants. Eating local honey may help relieve the discomfort of seasonal allergies, because bees use pollen from local plants, which ends up in this honey. Honey contains vitamins, minerals, and amino acids and is a wonderful beauty aid that nourishes the skin and the hair. It may seem odd that straight exposure to pollen often triggers allergies but that exposure to pollen in the honey usually has the opposite effect.  It has been found that in honey the allergens are delivered in small, manageable doses and the effect over time is very much like that from undergoing a whole series of allergy immunology injections. The major difference though is that the honey is a lot easier to take and it is certainly a lot less expensive. Our honey is loaded with antioxidants and acts as an antibacterial and anti-fungal agent and helps disinfect and speed the healing process in wounds, scrapes and burns. The powerful health benefit of local honey is not widely understood and yet it is simple, easy, and often surprisingly effective. Always consult a physician before trying honey as an allergy reliever.
