At sunrise, in July on a clear day, the work starts for the honeybee in the little Manitoban Town of Petersfield.

Drop by drop they collect nectar from the local flora and clover that grows in abundance in the area. The jar you hold in your hand represents the work made by ten thousand bee's making ten thousand flights.

Our of resepect for all this effort, we take the greatest care in packaging their gift, preserving the delicate natural flavours and bringing one of nature's wonders to your table.

Our honey tastes better than anyone elses!

You see most of the honey produced in the prairies is sold in bulk to large honey co-ops who process, blend and pasteurize it mainly for export and some for retail and commerical sales. During this excessively damaging process, most if not all of the natural flavour of the flora the nector originated from is obliberated leaving only a generic sweet flavour with no body or overtones; a pale shadow of it's original bouquet.

The best way to eat honey is fresh honeycomb straight out of the hive. The flavour comparison between this and the honey you buy at the store is quite remarkable.

Now since you probably don't have a hive of honeybees in your backyard, you can consider us your next best alternative. Using time tested methods of slow cold filtering, small batch extraction, and in-hive storage, we strive to handle our honey as little as possible to ensure that farm fresh flavour.
