Whole squares of comb cut straight from the frame, cappings and all. Honey that has never been through a spinner, a pump or a strainer.

Tastes of Floral honey, soft chewy wax.

Raw and unblended. Never heated above hive temperature, never mixed across apiaries. Each jar says which site it came from.
Same-day dispatch. Order before 1 pm and it leaves the honey house that afternoon, wrapped in kraft and wool, not plastic.
Arrives whole or free. If a jar reaches you cracked or leaking, send a photo and we send another. No return needed.

Harvest: Cut to order, July to September
Wax: Built fresh on unwired foundation, no chemical treatments in the super
Keeps: Best within the year; it may granulate under the cappings

Delivery

Orders before 1 pm ship the same day, Monday to Friday. Tracked delivery is £4.50 to mainland UK and free on orders over £35. Jars are packed in kraft paper and wool, with no plastic.

Storing raw honey

Keep it in a cupboard, not the fridge. If it sets, stand the closed jar in warm water for twenty minutes. Not suitable for babies under twelve months.

About this honey

The bees build this comb in shallow frames without wires, and we cut it out in squares the week it is capped. Nothing is done to it after that.

Eat it as it is, on sourdough, or with a hard cheese. The wax is edible and chews like a soft sweet.

“The heather honey is the only one my father says tastes like the hills he grew up on. It arrives set like a jelly, exactly as the note in the box said it would.”
