Studies have shown (really!) that a LOT of supermarket honey isn’t honey at all, or laced with corn syrup and junk. Pretty sad.

buy local honey.....its supposed to be better for you if its from “your” area....and from what I’m told, honey does not go “bad”....if it firms up, simply put it in a sunny spot to soften up....

We got 39 pounds of honey from our farm this year after we gave a friend with a spinner about 5 pounds. Have another box and frames to get another hive going soon. Local honey comes from local pollen and many folks swear by the benefit. I don’t know, but I enjoy the bees and they are great for our garden, orchard, and flowers. We buy from other friends locally and have many gallons of honey.

When our new orchard matures in a few years we hope to have about 5-6 hives here on the farm.

i only buy locally produced honey, not only does it usually taste better, it helps prevent seasonal allergies, but i must say, no honey is better than tupelo honey!
