Announcing our newest raw honey product – the 2023 Seasonal Honey Selection. For the first time, we are offering Firefly Honey Lovers the option to pre-order a taste of the landscape in three or five honey jars! NOTE: the Seasonal Selection will not be ready until September, as we will collect three to five varietals of honey from across time and space this season. All of our raw honey comes from bees in apiaries located on our family’s diversified organic farm in southwestern Michigan.
Something we take a lot of pride in is the way we love our piece of paradise we get to call home. Nothing exemplifies our anti-monocropping culture on the farm more than our beautiful rainbows of raw honey collected from a landscape of diverse crops, pastures, covers, hedges, edges, swamps, and woods. Those of you that have followed-us along on this terroir adventure as we attempt to capture our taste of place, know that if you purchase honey from us throughout the season it can vary quite dramatically. It tends to flow from the early season pale, water whites honeys born of basswood, black locust, and Dutch clover nectars to rich hues of gold found in the alfalfa, red clover, and sunflower from mid-season flower juice, and finally into the deeper, darker rich ambers we find from the asters mixing with goldenrod and buckwheat – nature’s last hurrah before winter. You can read more about Nature’s Nectar Delight (HERE).
We are one next step closer to our Firefly Honey CSA Dream! One day, we hope for you to be able to order a raw honey share each season that gives you a ‘taste (or tastes) of the month!’ We want you to enjoy it the way we do, fresh from the hive and in season with what is in bloom. There truly is something magical about walking into a bee yard in late August with an intoxicating smell of parmesan cheese and butterscotch paired with the sight of buzzing bright yellow pollen loads of goldenrod. You race to the hive and quickly (and gently) pull off the top cover. One cannot resist, you must stick your finger right into the bright yellow comb and taste what your seeing and smelling right in the moment. Ecstasy and harmony all at once.
If you are interested in ordering the 2023 Seasonal Honey Selection we have two options for you:
The three jar selection allows you to select from ALL three honey jar sizes we offer 1/5 L, 1/2 L, and 1 L. You will receive honey from three different moments across the 2023 honey season.
The five jar selection allows you to select from either 1/5 L or 1/2 L size jars. You will receive your honey from five different moments across the 2023 honey season.
Seasonal Honey Selection orders are expected for delivery or pick-up in September. These will be in only limited supply and by pre-order only. We hope you consider the Seasonal Honey Selection this year! 🙂
