You can live in the city and still have honey harvested from your neighborhood! We sell honey from neighborhoods all over Seattle and Shoreline. In addition to bottled honey, you will find tasty creamed honey and beautiful eco-friendly homemade beeswax candles. And if you want to harvest your own honey, we also sell bees.

FAQs
Our neighborhood honeys are from backyards in the Seattle-area, all labeled by neighborhood so you know their exact location. Our farm and forestry honeys give the closest landmark!
A few of our honeys like Nordic Spiced Creamed Honey and Honey Hot Cocoa are made in collaboration with other local beekeepers. All of the honey is from Western Washington.
There is not organic certification for honey in the United States! If you see honey labeled "organic" it's either from another honey or mislabeled.
That said, our honey is all raw, unfiltered, and all the things you want out of sustainable local honey.
We always do free-local pickup at our workshop in Shoreline, WA and we ship all over the US! From June-October you can find us at Shoreline and Magnolia Farmers Markets.
