All of our honey is lightly strained from our happy bees and may crystalize (or will be crystalized already). This is because we aim to maintain the best flavors and never heat it. If you would prefer your honey to be more liquid, just simmer in a pan of water until just melted. (Think of it like melting butter, but not burning it.)

Prairie Clover Honey

Our Prairie Clover honey is delicious and wonderfully flavorful – it’s new to the shop!

Sunflower Honey

Our Sunflower honey has a mild buttery creamy flavor with a small crystal structure so it's really nice spread on toast, and since it's a mild honey it won't overwhelm delicate tea flavors or change flavors in baking much.

Black Sage Honey

Our Black Sage honey has some herbal notes but don't expect it to taste like sage leaves; it has some bright, almost pepper flavors, but is still a very mild honey with a thick mouthfeel. This honey is slow to crystalize, so it has larger Poprock style crystals that can add a bit of a crunch and will melt quickly should you choose to liquify your honey. Sage honey is also extra sweet so you may not need to add as much to cooking or baking if you are looking to reduce your sugar consumption.

Wisconsin Wildflower Honey

Wisconsin Wildflower honey is a mix of all the summer flowers here in central Wisconsin, so it has dandelion, sumac, basswood, clover, star thistle, knotweed and goldenrod. It's a rich amber colored honey with warm spice notes and a fruity finish. This is one of our favorite honeys to use in drinks and in cooking when you really want the honey flavor to shine since it has a bit of a stronger flavor.

Buckwheat Honey

Our Buckwheat honey is our strongest flavor and is mostly buckwheat, but has some clover as well, which makes this a more mild buckwheat than the buckwheat honey you would get from Washington state which is almost black in color. This buckwheat has a malty almost chocolate or molasses flavor and is really lovely in baked goods. It has a pleasant medium crystal structure which makes it really nice by the spoonful. We find this to be a nice starter buckwheat since pure buckwheat can be almost bitter and pungent. Melted this buckwheat is more the color of chocolate.
