Raw honey by the quart.
500 hives on organic farms.
Handed to you.
I keep about 500 hives on organic farms around Idaho's Treasure Valley, by agreement with the farmers who work them. The honey is strained and never heated, so the pollen is still in it. A quart is $20 and a gallon is $60. I also sell beeswax by the pound and tallow lotion with no essential oils in it.
Three things, done properly
- Hives
- About 500
- Every one on an organic farm
- The tallow
- Rendered twice
- Where most render four or five
- Essential oils
- None
- Safe on a newborn
- Shipping
- None
- Treasure Valley pickup only
On earth,
as it is
in heaven.
Made by family, in Idaho
Treasure Valley, Idaho
I make it, I sell it, I answer for it.
Local honey around here costs more than a family will actually put on the table, so most people who want to cook with honey end up buying the cheap stuff at the store, and the cheap stuff isn't from here. That's what I'm here to fix. Quart, gallon, five gallon, priced so you use it.
All five hundred hives sit on organic farms, by agreement with the farmers who work them. A hive eats whatever grows where you set it down, and whatever it eats ends up in the jar and in the bees. That's the one I won't move on.
The lotion is mine start to finish, rendered in my own kitchen. My business partner carries the big commercial accounts and would rather stay out of this side of it, so anything you send from here comes to me. The markets, the orders, the people, all of it. You'll usually find all of us in a tent somewhere in the valley. Kobe is the muscle. Elias is seven, Harper is two, and Zariah is brand new.

Raw, Unfiltered, Never Heated
Raw and unfiltered are not regulated words. What they mean on our jars, what a strainer does that a filter does not, and how to check any honey yourself.

Why We Render the Tallow Twice
Most tallow is rendered four or five times to kill the beef smell. I stop at two and take the smell out with vanilla instead. Here is what that trade is.
Two rules we don't bend.
Every hive sits on an organic farm, because whatever the bees eat ends up in the jar and in the bees. And nothing goes in the lotion that I wouldn't put on a newborn. I used to make scented ones and I stopped: no essential oils, not one, so it's safe on a baby and safe on your face out in the sun. Same recipe every batch.
