Our honey is sold out for the year.
More will be available when we open next year. We have approximately 20 beehives at our orchards. These honeybees are necessary for pollination of the apples trees. In addition to our own hives, we rent additional bees for pollination during apple bloom. Our honey is pure raw honey. This means that it has not been pasteurized and does not have any additives. Many doctors recommend locally grown honey for people suffering with allergies to pollens. It is believed that eating honey made from local pollen is like getting an allergy shot. We hope you will give our honey a try. Here is one of our favorite honey recipes from the Honey Hill Orchard Cookbook.* We hope you enjoy it. HONEY
