Farmer Genes Honey is made from natural wildflowers with flavors unique to the region and floral conditions surrounding each apiary. Our small scale honey processing facility allows us to produce a truly superior product without heat treating or using harsh filtration processes which can damage honeys delicate flavors. With apiaries in both farm and forestland, our bees have abundant resources to gather wildflower nectar. No two honey harvests are ever the same, each and every one a treasure to be enjoyed. No antibiotics or synthetic chemicals are ever used in our hives. When necessary essential oils and organic acids are used to keep our bees strong and healthy. Our honey is considered to be raw because it is never heated over 90 degrees and is gently strained to remove any incidental unwanted debris without removing the beneficial pollens. We do not use any destructive filtering processes as is typical of the larger honey producers. We use glass jars because we believe they are the best able to preserve and protect the honey's delicate flavors without the risk of introducing any unwanted chemicals into the honey as can happen from a plastic container. Glass is heavier than plastic and does cost more to ship but we feel the added expense is a worthwhile investment to ensure the quality of the honey.
