This is what our bee yards look like by mid July. This is our Holy Hill bee yard in rural Washington County.

   Honey... that natural sweetener that people have enjoyed for thousands of years and still enjoy today. Honey is used  both for medicinal purposes ,as well as,   its natural sweetness. 
   Honey has been known to last for thousands of years, in the right conditions. There has even been honey found in clay pots in the tombs, of Egypt that was still edible.

This is a picture of alfalfa it used to be a big honey producer until the farmers started to cut it before the flowers bloomed.
  As was mentioned earlier honey not only tastes good but it is also good for you. Many people (including members of our family) have used honey on cuts or burns, honey naturally soothes on contact, and it has a well established antioxidant and antimicrobial affect that  explains its power in wound healing. There have also been tests done that would show that for childhood coughs honey works even better than OTCs, this was suggested by the World Health Organization. For more information we would recommend you try the National Honey Board website www.honey.com

The picture to the top is of white clover one of the main honey producers in Wisconsin.

   We are hoping to make Orange Blossom honey this winter here in Florida ,and hopefully, the winters to come.  However, our summer base of operation is in Wisconsin making honey. We make a much larger crop up there, primarily because there is a much larger variety of honey producing flowers in Wisconsin  than Florida.
 All of the  honey that we extract in Wisconsin is purposefully blended together so that it maintains the same distinct flavor all year long. This is because the vast majority of our crop is used by two very unique business in Milwaukee, the Sprecher Brewery, brewers of gourmet sodas, and Kangaroo brands, the country's largest baker of deli pita breads and pita bread products.   We are also proud to supply, two Great Harvest bread stores in Milwaukee.

Picture Perfect... a bee on a small sun-     flower.     

This is a picture of one of our larger bee yards in Wisconsin, holding eighty hives most yards hold forty hives.
   All of the honey that we sell is all natural, and never cooked,  pasteurized or filtered. We simply let the honey stand in large tanks to allow fine wax particles from the extracting process to rise to the surface and then draw from the bottom where the honey is as clean and clear as it was when the bees put it in the comb.

 While we cannot claim our honey is organic we are very diligent to make very sure our honey is never adulterated or contaminated, in any step of the process by anything we do to or with our bees.
  As you can see from the picture most of our honey that we bottle and sell ourselves is sold in jars such as these, but you are welcome to visit our farm and bring your own container and we would be happy to fill it for you while you wait right from the same big tanks we use to supply Sprecher and Kangaroo from.
    We also sell a small number of candles but most of our wax is sold whole sale to larger candle makers.
   We strive to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, healthiness, and goodness without altering the flavor in any fashion. This is why our honey is extracted and bottled using a minimum amount of processing, utilizing large clarification tanks . 

   This brings you the purest tasting honey as close to fresh-from-the-comb as possible, we also sell comb-honey.

   So, whether you’re a farm market or a family, or in food service and looking for a local/regional source for an outstanding quality honey  or candles please, don’t hesitate to contact us.  Our bees love to bee buzy and we’ve only just begun to tap the blossoms that are so abundant in Wisconsin each summer.
