There is little commercial agriculture immediately surrounding our apiaries, instead, the hives are surrounded by beautiful pastures and forests, meaning our bees are exposed to less commercial pesticides and therefore producing a cleaner honey.
Our honey is bottled by apiary location to ensure the truest and strongest favors - never blended. We process our honey using a single filter and settling in stainless steel tanks to leave as much pollen as possible in the honey. No heat, not even a hot knife for capping removal, is used in the process to preserve all the goodness the bees added. Nor do we use mechanical pumps that can introduce more air into the honey or break down certain aspects of the honey. All our honey is hand packaged.
In Turning Creek Artisans’ tradition of all natural, we have been accepted by Certified Naturally Grown, the fastest growing near-organic certification organization in the United States. What this means to you is, our hives use only natural products to manage harmful pests and pathogens without introducing harsh chemicals into the hives.
Come see us at Simply Homegrown: A Farmers' Market on Saturday at the Covered Bridge Shopping Plaza.
