1OZ SAMPLE HONEY

🌻🍯100% Raw Spring Honey

🍁🍯100% Raw Autumn Honey

🥄🍯100% Raw Creamed Honey

Wildflower honey varies from season to season, depending on the weather, plant life, and foraging patterns of the bees. In spring, the honey is light and floral, thanks to blooming dandelions, clovers, and early fruit blossoms. In autumn, it deepens in color and flavor, infused with goldenrod, asters, and late-blooming herbs.

Our Creamed Honey is made using a controlled crystallization process that creates a smooth, spreadable texture—no dairy, no whipping involved. Like our other honeys, it is 100% raw and unprocessed, retaining all of its natural enzymes and pollen. Each jar captures a moment in time, and no two batches are ever quite the same.

Seasonal Details:

🌻 Spring Honey: Early-season blooms — dandelion, honeysuckle, locust, fruit blossoms, clover. Light, sweet, and mild. Harvested: Early Summer (early July)

🍁 Autumn Honey: Mid-to-late-season blooms — goldenrod, asters, wildflowers. Darker amber with richer, caramel-fruit flavor. Harvested: Early Fall (late September)

🥄 Creamed Honey: Smooth, spreadable texture created via controlled crystallization. Mild, consistent flavor perfect for toast, baked goods, or any honey-loving recipe.

Do not refrigerate your honey. Store it in a warm pantry or cupboard. Honey lasts for many years- as long as no extra moisture is introduced… assuming you don’t eat it all first!

❄️WHAT IS CRYSTALLIZATION?

Raw honey naturally crystallizes, and that’s a good thing! It’s a sign your honey is pure, unprocessed, and full of pollen, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals.

Crystallization happens as glucose and fructose bind and form tiny crystals. Temperature, humidity, and light influence the rate. Crystallized honey is safe and delicious, just thicker in texture. Use the warm-water-bath method to return it to liquid.

If crystallization occurs, gently re-liquefy it by placing the jar:

• in warm sunshine, or

• in a warm water bath (100°F) with the lid slightly cracked open

Your honey will return to smooth liquid form every time.

Do not microwave honey, as it destroys beneficial enzymes. 

Cold temperatures and outdoor mailboxes may cause honey to crystallize more quickly during transit- completely normal for raw honey.

If honey arrives thicker or set, use the warm-water-bath method described in 🏺 Storing Your Honey. Honey remains shelf-stable year-round.

Our honey is harvested with care at Fingerlakes Honey Company, where bees forage wildflowers, orchards, and natural Finger Lakes flora. Every jar reflects the seasons, the land, and the gentle work of our beekeepers-  all in small batches with love.
