Honey’s taste and texture are heavily influenced by the flowers that bloom when bees collect nectar. Different flowers give honey unique flavors, like the light sweetness of clover or the rich, caramel taste of buckwheat. When bees gather nectar from different plants, the honey takes on those local flavors, so each batch is different depending on the season. Also, honey collected in late summer is usually thicker because it has less water, while honey in spring is more runny and plentiful.

 

    The types of flowers change with the seasons, which also changes the flavor and thickness of honey. Spring honey is often light and floral, while autumn honey has stronger, deeper tastes. Each season’s honey tells a story about the time and place it was made, based on the flowers that were blooming. Because of this connection between the plants and seasons, every batch of honey is special and unique. Our honey reflects the look and feel of our environment—it’s more than just a sweetener, it’s a taste of our land. It captures the natural beauty of our area and the time of year it was made, giving a real and tasty experience that shows off our local plants and wildlife.
