OUR HONEY
"We are grateful to the honeybee, and for all that it gives."
We produce, pack, and distribute our honey products under Boston Honey Company and Golden Meadow Honey labels.
Our honey is available in supermarkets, specialty stores, and farmstands throughout Massachusetts.
Our honey is raw, unfiltered, and Kosher (PARVE) certified.
We have bees in Massachusetts and Georgia, which allows to offer our local favorites: Wildflower, Clethra, Black Locust, and Japanese Knotweed honey, as well as the Southern favorites: Gallberry and Tupelo honey. We invite to try our honey products, and celebrate a season's harvest in every spoonful. From our family to yours! Enjoy.
Massachusetts Honey:
Wildflower:
This is our number one honey, our bread and butter!
Every batch represents the season's collected honey harvest, and what transpired in eastern Massachusetts during the year.
The honey is comprised of nectar from Buckthorn, Black Locust, Purple Loosestrife, Goldenrod, Linden, Japanese Knotweed, and many, other wildflowers.
The end result is an amber honey with a distinct and rounded flavor profile that stands out on its own, yet still plays well with others.
Great for beverages and cooking, this honey will not overpower what you add it to. Our Massachusetts wildflower honey is complex, rich, and floral; a season's cycle in every spoonful.Clethra:
This shrub is found blooming in the wetlands of Eastern MA during late August. Its strong, spicy-sweet scent is a powerful attractant to honeybees and many other pollinators. This excellent honey has a warm, rich taste, with a wide sweet flavor that will surprise and amaze anyone accustomed to a light, golden honey.
The high quality of this honey is best enjoyed pure or as an addition into a dish that won't overpower its delicate and complex taste.Japanese Knotweed:
These towering stalks, mildly reminiscent of bamboo, are considered an invasive species within the state. It has been the beekeepers dilemma to discover that such prolifically flowering plants are a fantastic replacement for the many wildflowers that have been lost in wild habitat degradation across the state.
The honey we have extracted from these plants is dark and flavorful with a strong, earthy sweetness, making it perfect as a standalone or a noticeable accent to food or beverage. Try it and judge the plant for yourself!
Black Locust:
This naturalized tree, known as a part of the highly valued Acacia family, is seen blooming in late May and early June when its strands of hanging white flowers brilliantly decorate the landscape. The honey is bright in color and light on the tongue, with a refreshing spark of sweetness. that truly showcases foods such as cheese, nuts, and meats.
Georgia Honey
In winter trips down south to Georgia, we have been granting a portion of our bees a lighter winter and an earlier spring. These bees come back robust and raring for the later spring of the north. What they also let us come back with is regional Georgia honey.
On top of producing a Georgia wildflower honey, we also get a chance to bring back a sample of two southern classics: Tupelo and Gallberry.
These southern favorites are separated from our local honeys, and bottled independently, for northerners looking to try a taste of the south, and southerners aching for the flavors of home.
