I’ve actually purchased the creamed honey from the Monastery of the Redwoods! The ginger honey is AWESOME!
I visited the monastery about 20 years ago. The Trappist nuns take a vow of silence—but they sing, and we were invited into the chapel to sing with them.
Behind the altar is a huge plate glass window, behind which is a gigantic old redwood. Mother Veronica told us the tree was over 2000 years old, and so it was there when Christ walked the earth.
Their honey is wonderful, and it’s how the nuns sustain themselves.
Highly recommended by mumblypeg!

Even from this angle, you can see how massive it is. Thanks for the information on the monastery and their delicious products.
