California Spring Wildflower Honey

Spring 2024 Harvest - Amber

Raw, Unfiltered, Varietal Honey

Our wildflower honey is an amber delight, born in the lush hills above the Sacramento Valley where hills are painted with wild blooms from March to July. Sustainably harvested from a single beekeeper, without blending across seasons or regions, it preserves a vivid taste of California's wild abundance. Spread on your favorite bread, enjoy with a lovely cup of tea or as part of your next charcuterie board, or eat straight out of the jar.

How to Use:

Rich and layered, this honey is a versatile kitchen staple. Glaze carrots or sweet potatoes, drizzle over oatmeal or thick Greek yogurt, stir into herbal tea, or add depth to a vinaigrette. Its complexity also shines in baked goods, nut-based granolas, or even savory marinades for roasted meats and vegetables.

Ingredients: Wildflower Honey

Tasting Notes

The honey starts with bright floral notes, followed by richer herbal and slightly spicy layers. Medium-bodied with a naturally evolving finish, shifting from bright to earthy as it lingers on the palate.

About Our Honey

Bees produce honey from the nectar of blooming plants, and the nectar produced by one flower will be different than that of another flower. Our mission is to seek out distinctive California flora which produce honeys that have the qualities in aroma, taste, texture, and color reflective of their particular species of flower.

As many of you know, it has become increasingly difficult for hard-working honeybees to gather the nectar necessary to produce honey due to dwindling floral sources caused by the ongoing drought in California, the continued impact of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), and the increasingly harmful effects of habitat loss. We work closely with our beekeeper friends to bring you the highest quality and best tasting, sustainably sourced honey currently available.

All of our honeys are gathered directly from the hive and bottled unpasteurized. This allows the honey to maintain a multitude of health benefits which are often lost in traditional, commercial honey production processes.

Please note: Crystallization is natural for raw, unprocessed honey like ours. Don't worry, though, honey is good forever because of its antibiotic properties which keep it from spoiling! Crystallized honey can be enjoyed in its own right but, if you prefer a more liquid honey, you can soften your crystalized honey by placing the opened jar in hot water bath (make sure not to put the honey over direct heat or you risk changing the flavor and losing some of those great health benefits!) and stirring the honey inside until it liquefies.
