“Fantastic honey is like a superb wine: sophisticated, complex, distinctive.”

Bees produce honey from the nectar of blooming plants, but the nectar produced by one flower will be different than that of another flower. Our mission is to seek out distinctive California flora which produce honeys that have the qualities in aroma, taste, texture and color reflective of their particular species of flower. We currently collect four varieties found in the rich and diverse terrain of California: Raspberry Flower, Citrus Blossom, Black Button Sage, and Wild Blackberry honey; together with our new spring Wildflower honey from the lower Sierra foothills. All of our Branches honeys are gathered directly from the hives and bottled unpasturized, thus maintaining the multitude of health benefits associated with honey that are often lost in traditional commercial honey from overheating to eliminate crystallization.

Black Button Sage
Gathered in the lower foothills of the California coastal mountain ranges, the Black Button Sage plant is one of those miracles of nature which when pollinated the bees produce a honey that will not granulate and is amazingly smooth in texture. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Its slightly herbaceous quality enhances vanilla ice cream, freshly cut strawberries and scones right from the oven.
