Raw honey straight from the beekeeper is like nothing you’ve
ever tasted before. My goal is to turn
you into a honey connoisseur. Spoil
yourself or give one as a gift! You’ll
never buy supermarket honey again.
For local
customers, my honey is available for sale in a variety of sizes (glass and
plastic jars). For customers further afield, flat rate shipping is available (1 lb. plastic jars only). Please see below for ordering information.
Honey from my bees comes out of the hive on frames which I
spin in an extractor. The honey is then
filtered through a series of sieves to remove impurities and bits of
beeswax. The resulting honey is clear,
smooth, and never heated. A true raw
product straight from my hives.
Light South Corvallis honey: these hives produce a light, very sweet honey
with floral tones and bright citrusy flavors.
They forage on a huge variety of flowers, herbs, vegetables, blackberry,
and native species near Willamette Park.
Dark North Corvallis honey (limited
quantities): my hives in this area
produce a darker, slightly richer honey. The taste is similar to dark honeys
with traces of buckwheat. These bees are foraging on the many native tree and shrub
species near Chip Ross Park, blackberry, and nearby vegetable and flower
gardens.

A NOTE ABOUT
CRYSTALLIZATION:
It is the natural tendency of
honey to crystallize (become opaque and nearly solid). Certain varieties
will crystallize sooner because of differing sugar concentrations in the nectar
sources. Colder temperatures, especially below 65 degrees, will speed the
crystallization process so please consider storing honey in a warm place, at
least 70-75 degrees.
Crystallized
honey is still perfectly good to use and has not spoiled at all. Some prefer it
because it does not run and spreads nicely. Crystallized honey can be slowly
and gently warmed to around 104-110 degrees in a water bath or low oven to melt
the crystals and return it to its original clear state. This is best done
gradually and without overheating to make sure the natural enzymes are
preserved and the honey retains its raw nature and original flavor. Resist the urge to microwave your
crystallized honey! It is hard to control the temperature with
microwaving and the honey can quickly become overheated.
It is also common for a small amount of suspended wax to remain at
the surface of non-crystallized honey. This is normal and an indication
that you have a jar of quality, raw honey!
