The Buckwheat honey was the first Ames Farm honeys I ever tasted, at a food festival in Chicago years ago. I didn't think I liked honey, only used it in a few things I baked. I remember the moment so well, I was blown away, I'd never tasted anything like it. Bold, rich, powerful, not unlike wines and cheeses I favor that pair so well with this amazing hhoney. I also appreciate the health benefits of this honey. It's the one I've ordered most often. So happy to have discovered Ames Farm honey and all their products. Proud to support them and their mission to protect the bees, and happy to recommend them to all my friends.
