We are so blessed to have another neighbor, Northwoods Apiary, just one mile down our dirt road. Josh tends the hives himself and harvests certified organic raw honey and he collects the beeswax. Our family buys the honey in bulk from him and adds our own label. We also buy the beeswax in blocks, melt and strain the wax into one ounce bars to sell in our shop.
This honey is the best honey I have ever tasted. It is in a cream form as it is raw. So yummy.
I am offering one jar of honey and 4, one ounce bars of beeswax in a giveaway today. To enter, just leave a comment. I will pick a winner randomly on Friday evening, the 17th at 7:00 pm EST.
Thank you for this wonderful space. It has been such a blessing to me and my family to share and learn with so many kind people. We are enjoying the opportunity to give back just a little.
Warm wishes,
Tonya
Yum, what a delicious giveaway. Nothing like fresh raw honey, one of natures super food.
