HONEY

All Natural Unpasturized Honey

For a grass finished beef product, hay production and collection is obviously a primary focus of our business. It feeds our cattle and horse herd through the winter months, and honey has now become a parallel venture to this perfect food source. The blooming alfalfa flowers within our hay fields, along with other wild flora, offer an amazing environment for honey bees to thrive. We can see how the relationships between flora, bees, and cattle can truly be mutually beneficial. Our bees pollinate the local flora to provide a nutritious food source for the cattle, the cattle provide a natural fertilizer to promote the growth of the flora, the flora is a vast buffet of nectar and pollen for the bees, and the honey production is abundant and pristine.

We have a couple key locations on the Hanceville home ranch that our honey bee hives are seasonally located. The Chilcotin environment is free of pollutants that are more associated to larger urban centres, making it an ideal environment for producing a pure quality, non-pasteurized honey.

Our honey harvest typically starts in late August almost in sequence with our second hay cut of the season.
