Boost Your Immunity with Local Honey 🍯

Our raw honey is a customer favorite — with no synthetic chemicals and notes of clover, alfalfa, fruit, and wildflowers, the flavor profile is amazing. Stop by and explore our honey selection straight from the hives of Ken Theis, Living Earth Farms, and other varieties from local apiaries, each with unique flavors and qualities!
