Honey from bees kept by fields, Goring, Berkshire.
This honey was taken from the bees Mike keeps by fields used for grazing. Goring and the surrounding countryside is lovely, a chocolate-box place – lucky bees (and Mike!). The honey is just as you imagine when you think of honey: comforting, smooth, thick enough to spread and very easy to eat, with a fruity flavour profile.
The story of the beekeeper:
PROVENANCE
Mike started beekeeping over 25 years ago when he heard someone on a Radio 4 gardening programme say, “Beekeeping is a lovely hobby as you only do it in the good weather.” He was hooked and never looked back! I really enjoyed visiting him and his wife and hearing his beekeeping stories. Mike has a wonderful turn of phrase and wisdom; he told me, “Whatever fills your sails is good for you” – I couldn’t agree more.
Every one of our honeys is from a small-scale British beekeeper who has simply spun their honey from the hive and run it through a sieve for us. We jar and label it – and bring it to you to enjoy. Nothing more complicated than that!
On each jar we write the beekeeper’s name, where they kept their bees, when the honey was taken off, and how many jars of that honey the bees produced. Totally pure, raw and trustworthy.
