No. 1 Golden Honey has been heated and filtered so that it stays liquid longer. It is not pasteurized nor ultra-filtered so, it will crystalize back eventually (normally 6 months after packing). It is dark in color and with a strong flavor.

This honey is harvested once a year (in late August) from our beehives near Falkland. It comes from alfalfa, wildflowers around the Salmon river shore, and mountains.

Raw Honey

Raw honey has small amounts of bee pollen, bee propolis, polyphenols, and minerals like potassium, calcium, niacin, riboflavin, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. This means it’s healthier to consume and make it a valuable addition to your diet!

Honey contains natural sugars (mainly glucose and fructose). In raw honey, sugars will bind together and begin to form little crystals, which can start making your honey harder.  As different kinds of honey have different proportions of sugars, some will begin to crystallize faster than others and with a different texture.

Unlike regular or pasteurized honey, raw honey does not go through the pasteurization and/or filtration process. In regular honey, the filtration process that gives it that clear, consumer-friendly look and runny, drizzle-able texture also strips the honey of most of its beneficial by-products like pollen, antioxidants, and enzymes. To get the full benefits out of your honey, purchase local, unpasteurized Raw Honey.

Alfalfa

Raw Alfalfa Honey

Alfalfa Honey is a very mild, delicate honey. There are several reasons why this type of honey is a good choice for you and your family. It is great for you because it has a naturally sweet flavour that is not overpowering. It also tastes good and has a very pleasant aroma, which is important if you are trying to improve your health or boost your immune system.

Raw Dandelion Honey

Dandelion honey is a strong tasting honey with medium sweetness and mild tangy notes. This wonderful weed is full of vitamins A, B, C, and D, as well as minerals, such as iron, potassium, and zinc. It also contains flavonoids such as luteolin, apigenin and isoquercitrin (a quercetin-like compound), as well as caffeic and chlorogenic acid. 

Fireweed

Raw Fireweed Honey

Fireweed is a natural Okanagan wild flower that’s easily to distinguish. It has clusters of pink four-petaled flowers and long, green leaves growing out of a single tall stem.

Fireweed honey is one of the newest of our flavours. Fireweed honey has a sharp, almost peppery front flavor with a smooth, not overly sweet aftertaste. It’s much milder than Clove honey and not as sweet as all of the commercial honeys.

We had to save these hives in the summer of 2021 during the Okanagan wild fires and bring them to safety so you could have fireweed honey!
