There is no way to describe honey that was made naturally from local plant sources! Our honey was entered in 2023 in what was then billed as the largest honey show in the last half century, in the “black jar” division, which is judged on taste alone. No ribbons to brag about (yet), but a judge told us that our delicious honey made it to the top 20% in the judging. Not bad for the first try! Then in 2024 we didn’t win again (as there was ONLY ONE prize), and jokingly complained to the judges who were on hand. I happened to have a jar of our delicious honey with us, and two of the judges tasted it. I was given a taste of the prize winning honey, which I didn’t consider as good as ours, but tastes do vary. One of the judges said that this surely would have made it into the final round! The other judge concurred, and even traded a jar of her honey for ours! This was higher praise, we think, than the Blue Ribbon we earned at the Maury County fair later in the year, the only time we ever entered in a fair. Here’s the ribbon, but the proof is in the tasting! Our girls forage only the best nectar, and we use only the best methods to preserve its great taste. I jokingly told one of the national judges that we billed our honey as “small batch artisan” honey, and she unsmilingly responded that that is exactly what it is! The larger producers use automated machinery that has myriad ways to change the flavor, and not for the better. Try ours and see! We have a limited supply of spring and summer honey for $20 a pound, in a glass or plastic squeeze bottle. Fall honey is on sale for only $16 for a limited time.
