Sourwood Honey
Ridgepole Apiary
Jackson County, Alabama
Pulled only in the three weeks the sourwood blooms, which some years does not happen at all.
- sourwood
- light
- seasonal
Raw and lightly strained honey from local hives, plus comb, creamed honey, and beeswax goods. Flavor shifts with the season and the field, from light clover to dark sourwood. Straight from beekeepers who know their bees by yard.
The bees know the county better than anybody. Sourwood off the ridge, clover from the pasture, tupelo down in the swamp — every jar tastes like the ground it came from.

Off the shelf, down the road
There's more than what hangs in the HoneyBarn — pick a state and go treasure hunting through hand-checked makers down the road and a county or two over.

Cut straight out of the frame, wax and all, the way honey came before anybody owned an extractor.

Hives set on platforms in the swamp and reached by boat when the tupelo comes in.
