Raw local honey in KY.
📅 In season: Harvested June – September · sold year-round
Raw honey from a local apiary is a completely different product from the squeeze bear: unheated, minimally filtered, and flavored by whatever was blooming within a few miles of the hive — which in KY means wildflower, clover, goldenrod, and the occasional dark fall harvest with real character.
Beekeepers typically harvest in summer and fall and sell the year’s crop until it’s gone. Crystallization is normal and a good sign — it means the honey wasn’t overheated.

Know before you buy.
-
If raw honey crystallizes, set the jar in warm (not boiling) water — high heat destroys what makes raw honey raw.
-
Spring honey runs light and floral; fall honey (goldenrod, aster) is darker and bolder. Try both.
-
Honey never spoils. Sealed and dry, it keeps essentially forever.
Raw honey: questions, answered.
What makes honey "raw"?
It hasn’t been heated above hive temperature or fine-filtered, so the pollen, enzymes, and subtle flavors survive. Most supermarket honey is pasteurized and ultra-filtered into uniform sweetness.
Does local honey help with seasonal allergies?
The evidence is mixed — studies haven’t confirmed the popular claim, though plenty of people swear by a daily spoonful. Buy it because it tastes better; treat any allergy benefit as a bonus, not a promise.
Why did my honey turn solid?
Crystallization is natural — raw honey’s glucose granulates over time, faster in cool storage. It’s still perfect; warm it gently to re-liquefy or spread it as is.
