The taste is medium sweet and slightly sour and bitter. It has an average persistence in the mouth. It crystallises spontaneously several months after harvest.

Some see selling honey as exploitation — we see it as a partnership.
We practise ethical beekeeping that supports wild pollinators, strengthens local ecosystems, and helps protect bee populations threatened by habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change. In our hives, the bees always come first: queens’ wings are never clipped, swarming is allowed, and the bees keep the vast majority of their honey. The small surplus we harvest funds their care and conservation, helping us maintain healthy, thriving colonies that pollinate the plants we all depend on.
Our apiaries are limited to a maximum of four colonies per well-stocked acre to avoid competition with wild pollinators. At our Steart site, we’ve reduced this to just two colonies due to local ecological pressures.
We’re committed to raising awareness of the challenges facing wild pollinators — from habitat loss and the decline of wildflower meadows to the scarcity of safe, chemical-free forage. We plant for all pollinators and leave parts of our garden to grow wild, and we encourage you to do the same.

Is honey safe to consume during pregnancy?
Raw honey – it’s ok for you to eat honey, but you should NOT give it to your baby until they’re over a year old.
