Statice and lavender are in our Spring and Summer honey.
We have lots of Borage on the farm and the bees really love it! It makes great honey, too! Here in Northern California Borage blooms almost all year. |
Scalloped Sweet Potatoes and Apples 3 large tart unpared apples Instructions: This recipe can also be made substituting raw, peeled winter squash slices for the sweet potatoes.
Baked Mini Pumpkin Cut the top off the mini-pumpkin. Scoop out the seeds. Fill the cavity with a teaspoon of honey, a half teaspoon of butter or olive oil and season with pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg or cinnamon. Bake for 4 minutes in the micro-wave with the top back on the little pumpkin.

Not all honey is equal in flavor, sweetness or aroma.
It all depends on
where the bees gathered their nectar.
Our wild flower honey is a light flavored, medium amber hue.
Our honey was awarded four ribbons at the 2007 Harvest Fair.
To the best of our
knowledge our
honey is a combination of some of the following nectars:
wild mustard, clover, lavender, stork's beak, wild radish, borage, pumpkin blossoms,
roses, statice,pennyroyal, mint, lemon verbena, black locust, catalpa, and
sunflowers.
What they forage on depends, of course, on what is blooming.
The honey is sold
here at the farm in 12 ounce squeeze bears and larger jars. We harvested a great spring and fall 2007 honey crop. The bees were out on the wild mustard, wild radish, dandelions,borage, blackberries and other flowers. Most of our honey is a medium color with a mild, pleasant taste.
We have made some very nice skin softner
bars with our
beeswax cappings and pure olive oil.
We also made some lip balm for your chapped lips.
Come by and pick up some of these products .
All our honey is raw honey that has been extracted right here on the farm and carefully strained through
a double layered sieve before bottling.
It is worth the trip, believe us!
All the 2007 honey has been sold. We hope to have fresh honey by April. This depends on the weather of course. Right now the bees are eating the honey we left for them and keeping each other warm. They fly when the temperature is above 55¡, it is not raining and it is not too windy.
