“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.

Raspberry Flower-very limited!
A unique honey gathered from hives of the coastal raspberry crop possessing mellifluous straw color and floral scented overtones. This is a rare instance where the honey tastes like the fruit of the plant with a distinctive fresh raspberry finish that is both pleasantly sweet and tart. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Wonderful used where the nuances of berry flavor will be most enhanced; stir into plain yogurt or cottage cheese, use to flavor berry tarts and pies, drizzle over freshly-made vanilla or cinnamon ice cream. Or simply enjoy by the spoonful!
