Samantha and James discovered beekeeping by chance, when a friend suggested they try it for a summer on a farm in central Minnesota. Finding themselves with a passion they never dreamed off, they dove in head-first! Now, they run a family farm in Iola, Wisconsin, accompanied by their little one and Kat the parrot (the bird in "Bird and the Bees").
Why We Love This
Why We Love This
These really are some busy bees: Samantha and James actually pack up their hives and travel with them to California each winter, where the bees pollinate warm-weather orchards before returning to the family farm in Iola, WI for summer honey production. It takes so much effort and risk to produce a small amount of honey, making it a true labor of love and a special gift. Because honey tastes different depending on what the bees eat, the end product is a hyper-local reflection of our region's landscape. . --Gigi
This 6 oz jar of honey, produced in Iola, Wisconsin, makes a fantastic gift - pair with tea or a loaf of local bread!
From the apiary:
"This honey is something we only find occasionally and has some herbal notes but don't expect it to taste like sage leaves. It has some bright almost pepper flavors but is still a very mild honey with a thick mouthfeel. This honey is slow to crystalize so it has larger poprock style crystals that can add a bit of a crunch and will melt quickly should you choose to liquify your honey. Sage honey is also extra sweet so you may not need to add as much to cooking or baking if you are looking to reduce your sugar consumption."
