Kinloch Farm Honey

A product of our native plantings is wildflower honey. The honeybees feast on trees and shrubs in spring followed by clover in the pastures and a progression of native forbs blooming throughout the growing season. Conditions are not always right for a honey harvest at the same time every year. We need to ensure that we are also leaving enough honey for the bees to consume overwinter, a delicate balance. We only take an excess so as not to deplete their stores. Knowing that bees can travel 2 miles, we have each of our colonies spread to different sections of our farm to isolate and monitor hive performance. We currently have 20 hives spread across three different sites on the farm.

The color and consistency of our honey will vary depending on when it was harvested and the specific colony it was harvested from. We stand by our claim of “Perfectly Raw Honey”, and we do not heat treat our honey, so crystallization becomes a possibility on the shelf.
