2025 HONEY DESCRIPTIONS & AVAILABILITY
FROM OUR CENTREVILLE APIARY
Extraction #1 - 4/27/25: OUT OF STOCK Golden in color, this early season honey delights with its distinct floral aroma and taste. Its sweetness is subtle, making it perfect for drizzling over toast or adding to tea. Beyond its culinary appeal, this honey is known for its potential allergy-fighting properties, offering a natural remedy for seasonal allergies (especially those beginning toward the end of March and into April in the northern Virginia area).
Extraction #2 - 5/7/25: OUT OF STOCK Golden in color, this early season honey (similar to Extraction #1) delights with its light floral aroma and delicate taste. What sets this apart from Extraction #1 is the slight "buttery-ness" mouthfeel. Beyond its culinary appeal, this honey is known for its potential allergy-fighting properties, offering a natural remedy for seasonal allergies (especially those beginning toward the end of March and into April in the northern Virginia area).
Extraction #3 - 5/12/25: Virginia State Fair 2nd Place - 9/25/25 OUT OF STOCK Lightly golden in color, it boasts the taste of that serene jasmine garden. With each taste, your palate is greeted by the sweet, floral notes of jasmine blossoms dancing harmoniously with the rich, golden essence of honey. This unique honey creates a sensory experience that is both soothing and exhilarating, leaving a lingering, fragrant finish that captures the essence of nature's beauty in every drop.
Extraction #4 - 5/20/25: Virginia State Fair 1st Place - 9/25/25 OUT OF STOCK Golden in color, this Autumn Olive honey is sweet, sweet, sweet. Autumn Olive honey is a unique honey with a subtle, flowery taste reminiscent of the autumn olive blossom. It's produced from the early spring blooms of the autumn olive bush, which provides a crucial food source for honeybees during a time when other nectar sources are scarce. The honey has a sweet-tart flavor, sometimes described as a blend of apple, pomegranate, and cranberry.
Extraction #5 - 6/13/25: OUT OF STOCK Amber in color, it has a pleasing wildflower taste with a hint of mint, especially in the aftertaste. We have found this honey to be very versitile, but especially wonderful in tea (both hot and iced).
Extraction #6 - 6/20/25: OUT OF STOCK Another great one!!! This dark amber honey is well grounded; it has a very slight earthy flavor with a hint of floral afternotes. Although sweet, its sweetness is not overbearing, making it a nice compliment on fresh fruit. Many have already said this honey is, "pleasant-tasting".
Extraction #6A - 7/4/25: STILL AVAILABLE This is a darker version of Extraction #6; it has a slight earthy flavor with a hint of molasses and anise. Some have said it has a very distinct Chicory-type flavor.
Extraction #7 - 7/12/25: STILL AVAILABLE This very dark honey has a hint of extraction #6's characteristics, but is much thicker and has a stronger, almost tangy tone with hints of molassass and/or black licorace. We have had a lot of people calling it "savory". It is a must-have for our friends who truly enjoy earthy honey! Several of our friends from the Middle-East (Saudi, Yemen...) have said that this extraction is very similar to the honey they get back home. We now call this our Savory Sweet.
Extraction #8 - 8/13/25: STILL AVAILABLE This very dark honey has a very unique flavor. It is very thick and has a strong taste that a lot of people prefer over extraction #7. Though the "sugar" content is like all the other honeys, this one really hides the sweetness so we have given this one the name Savory non-Sweet.
NOTES: Extractions #7 and #8 are also known as our Spotted Lanternfly Honey or Forest Honey. This is the very honey that scientists in 2024 determined had health benefits that outweigh the health benefits of Manuka honey.

FROM OUR PURCELLVILLE APIARY
Extraction P-1 (Purcellville apiary) - 5/6/25: OUT OF STOCK This honey is light in color and probably one of the best ones to use in expensive tea. It has a light floral flavor that won't disrupt the flavor of whatever it is used with. It also has a slight anesthetic property leading us to call it our Sore Throat Honey.
Extraction P-2 (Purcellville apiary) - 5/6/25: OUT OF STOCK This honey is slightly darker in color and has a similar taste to Extraction P-1, but with a bolder, deeper flavor. This was a very small extraction and therefore not much is available.
Extraction P-3 (Purcellville apiary) - 5/25/25: OUT OF STOCK This honey is darker in color and has a bold flavor with a slight caramel taste.
Extraction P-4 (Purcellville apiary) - 6/2/25: Loudoun County Fair 1st Place - July 2025, Virginia State Fair 4th Place - 9/25/25 OUT OF STOCK This honey is amber in color and has a similar taste to Extraction #5, but with a bolder, deeper flavor and with the mint missing. This was a very small extraction and therefore not much is available.
Extraction P-5 (Purcellville apiary) - 6/21/25: Loudoun County Fair 2nd Place - July 2025, Virginia State Fair 1st Place - 9/25/25 STOCK RUNNING VERY LOW This slightly tangy, nutty-like honey has a bittersweet butterscotch-like richness with a faint peach aftertaste.
