Description

As the bees are about ready to call it a season and retire to their hives, we are offering a very limited supply of pure, raw honey remaining from the 2020 season. $12/1 lb, packaged in a glass bottle. It will be July, 2021 before we harvest our next honey crop so you may wish to order soon as we will be out shortly.

Why buy your local honey from Honey Meadow Farm?
Simple…Purity. The honey in your bottle comes only from our own hives and consists solely of what the bees in our care bring into the hives themselves. It is never filtered or heated or mixed with honey from other beekeepers. We raise our bees holistically and our apiaries thrive on 3 of the most pristine properties in Westmoreland, NH; Honey Meadow Farm, Hillside Springs Farm, and New Dawn Farm.  It is an honor to have our bees on such bountiful and thoughtfully managed farms!

Our farm, Honey Meadow Farm, LLC, is a small, artisanal apiary and fruit farm. We only produce several hundred bottles of honey each year and every single drop comes from our personal hives. Our honey is NEVER mixed with that from outside sources, assuring the honey we sell is as pure as if you were drinking from a tap in the hive! If you definitely want local honey, know your beekeeper!

Additionally, we offer a few select beekeepers, whom we have known for years and respect, the opportunity to purchase the  overwintered nucs we bring through winter. They know they quality of our bees and we sell out every year!

Note: We suggest only local folks purchase our honey in order to gain all of the health benefits our honey provides. For the rest of our friends, who live outside of southwestern New Hampshire, save your money. It will cost more to ship our honey to you than the price of the honey itself. Plus, local honey bottled by a beekeeper from your community will be healthier for you as it will contain trace amounts of local allergens that can help reduce any sensitivities you may have. Email me if you need help finding someone in your area.

Net weight: 16 oz. Shipping weight: 25 oz. (includes bottle)

For us, it’s not about the honey–though we sure do love it! It’s really about the bees. Honey is simply a measure of the successes and failures we experience trying to create the right balance for our bees to prosper. The fact that honey is one of the healthiest foods known to man makes it that much better! Read more about our philosophy.

Workers bees will visit 2,000,000 flowers and fly 55,000 miles to make just 1 pound of honey. Foragers may make 10 trips a day and will visit 50 – 100 of the exact same type of flower per trip. This makes honeybees responsible for 80% of all pollination and provides us with 95 different fruits and vegetables that would not exist without them. Read more bee facts.

Honey supplies 2 stages of energy. The glucose in honey is absorbed by the body quickly and gives an immediate energy boost. The fructose is absorbed more slowly providing sustained energy. Read more honey facts.

Mead, wine made from honey, is the most ancient fermented beverage. The term "honey moon" originated with the Norse practice of consuming large quantities of Mead during the first month of a marriage. Read more honey facts.

The queen can lay up to 2000 eggs per day (her approximate body weight) in the heat of summer. She is unable to clean or feed herself and relies entirely on attendants for her survival. If the hive decides to swarm, the bees will chase the queen around the hive so she looses sufficient weight to fly. Read more bee facts.
