The Honey
Every jar comes from hives kept right here on Block Island. Small batches, one season at a time, with nothing added and nothing rushed. Here is a closer look at the hives, the harvest, and the honey itself.
We don't sell online or ship. Every jar is sold in person, mostly at the Block Island Farmers Market. Head to Where to Find Us to see when we're open.

Block Island wildflower honey, ready for the market.
Our classic. Gathered from whatever's blooming across the island in a given season, milkweed, blackberry blossom, wild aster, goldenrod, and more, so the flavor shifts a little year to year. This is the honey that started it all.
