Why Choose Local Honey
Local honey is packed with natural enzymes and nutrients, offering superior quality and health benefits compared to supermarket varieties.
Supporting Local Beekeepers
By buying local honey, you help sustain local bee populations and promote environmentally friendly practices.
Unique Flavours and Sustainability
Every jar of local honey tells the story of its surroundings. The flavour and colour are shaped by the flowers the bees visit — from clover and wildflower to heather and beyond. No two batches are ever quite the same. Supermarket honey, however, is usually blended to create a consistent flavour, which means much of the character and complexity are lost.

Learn why choosing local honey supports health and the environment.
Quality and Purity
Local honey is typically raw and minimally processed — taken straight from the hive, gently filtered, and bottled. In contrast, most supermarket honey has been pasteurised and heavily filtered to improve shelf life and create a uniform appearance. This heating process destroys many of the natural enzymes, vitamins, and pollen that make honey so special.
Some mass-produced honey brands have even been found to include blends of imported honey or added sugars like corn syrup. Local beekeepers, on the other hand, are transparent about how their honey is made. They can tell you where their bees forage and explain why honey harvested at different times of the year varies so much in taste, texture, and colour.
Health Benefits
Raw, local honey retains trace amounts of pollen from the plants in your area. Some believe that consuming small amounts of this local pollen can help the body adapt to seasonal allergens and ease allergy symptoms. While research is mixed, many people swear by this natural approach.
Beyond that, raw honey is a natural source of antioxidants, antibacterial compounds, and enzymes that support digestion and immunity — all of which can be diminished during commercial processing.
Environmental Impact
Buying from local producers helps sustain small-scale beekeepers, who play a vital role in maintaining healthy bee populations. Bees are essential pollinators for fruit, vegetable, and flower crops, and their decline poses a real threat to global food systems. Supporting local beekeepers means helping to protect biodiversity and promote a balanced, resilient ecosystem.
Local honey doesn’t travel thousands of miles to reach your table, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint. Many local producers also use eco-friendly packaging, such as reusable glass jars, and practise sustainable hive management that prioritises the well-being of their bees and the environment.

Types of Honey Available
Another wonderful advantage of local honey over supermarket honey is the variety of forms in which it can be sold — from bottled and chunk honey to comb honey straight from the hive.
Bottle Honey
Bottled honey is the most common form — it’s honey that has been extracted from the comb, gently filtered to remove wax and debris, and then poured into jars or bottles. Every jar of local honey reflects the landscape it comes from. The bees’ foraging habits and the local flora determine its colour, texture, and taste — ensuring no two batches are ever exactly alike. Bottled honey is convenient and easy to use.
Chunk Honey
Chunk honey combines the best of both worlds: a piece of natural honeycomb immersed in a jar of liquid honey. It offers a beautiful presentation and a unique eating experience — you can chew the comb like natural beeswax gum or enjoy the liquid honey that surrounds it. It’s often prized as a gourmet product because it showcases the honey in its pure, raw state while remaining easy to serve.
Comb Honey
Comb honey is honey still inside the original beeswax cells, exactly as the bees made it. It’s cut directly from the frame and packaged without any extraction or processing. You can eat the entire comb — honey and wax together — for the freshest, most natural experience possible. The texture is soft and chewy, and it’s perfect for serving with cheese, fruit, or simply spreading on warm bread.
