Frequently Asked Questions

  • Our honey is produced right here on our ridge in Kentucky, using bees that forage on native wildflowers and black locust trees. “Local” means it’s harvested, bottled, and sold from the same region—nothing imported or blended.

  • Raw, unfiltered honey is honey that hasn’t been heated or heavily processed. We lightly strain it to remove debris, but we keep the natural pollen, enzymes, and flavor intact—just as the bees made it.

  • Black locust honey comes from the blossoms of black locust trees. It’s known for:

    • Light color

    • Mild, clean sweetness

    • Slow crystallization

    It’s one of the most sought-after honey varieties in Kentucky.

  • Our honey is 100% pure and never blended with outside sources. What you get in each jar reflects the season and what’s blooming locally.
