How Ames Farm Single-Source Honey is Made
At Ames Farm, crafting Single Source Honey is both an art and a science. It begins with a deep respect for nature and a meticulous approach to beekeeping. Each hive is carefully monitored throughout the season, ensuring that the honey is harvested at its peak for maximum quality and flavor. By isolating individual honey supers and tasting every batch, we uncover the distinct characteristics that make each jar unique.
The flavor profiles of our honey are shaped by Minnesota’s diverse landscapes and changing seasons. From the early spring blooms of wildflowers to the late-season nectar flows of goldenrod and aster, every jar tells the story of that year’s weather, flora, and environment. This connection to the land ensures that our honey is a genuine reflection of its origin.
Our hands-on approach extends to every step of the process. After harvesting, the honey is gently filtered to remove impurities while retaining its natural enzymes, nutrients, and flavor. Bottling is done without heat or additives, preserving the raw, unfiltered goodness of the honey. This dedication to authenticity ensures that every jar of Ames Farm honey is as pure and natural as the hive it came from.
