Why Our Honey?

The quality of raw honey, like wine, is influenced by variety of important factors, but none more so than the blossom from which the honey is made. The flower is to natural honey as the grape is to wine. The sugar content of nectar varies from flower to flower, and is impacted greatly by weather. Therefore, each raw honey varietal has a different floral source, is from a certain vintage, and pairs with some foods better than others.


We are Raw Honey Artisans!

To us, each jar of natural raw honey is like a work of art, taking months and painstaking care. At every stage, our 4th generation beekeeper focuses on quality and purity so you can enjoy the finest artisanal raw honey available.


Our Bees are Macrobiotic

In other words, they eat seasonally! Depending on the time of year, we move our bees to the areas where flowers are blooming (these areas are called "honey flows") where they eat and collect ripe, seasonal nectar.

Because of the year round warm weather in Hawaii, there are always honey flows at different times of the year. Other apiaries, particularly those in cold climates, may feed their bees sugar solutions for part of the year. Our bees eat 100% pure flower nectar.
