Warning--Imported Honey may not be safe --Buy Local!


Local Honey! Pixie Honey, Olympia, Washington, USA
Honey!  You can get it anywhere, but do you really know where it is coming from?  According to www.foodsafteynews.com most honey sold in the United States does not pass international saftey protocols.  Honey that the EU has banned, the USA has imported in record numbers. 

BY LOCAL HONEY!  How do you find local honey producers?  Check out your local Farmer's Market first.  Here is a great website: Local Harvest helps you find farmer's markets in your area.  You can even search by product name.  Search HONEY!

For those in the Seattle area check out Pixie Honey, from Olympia Washington.  They produce pure, raw, honey!  They have a booth at the Capitol Hill Broadway Market on Sundays through December 18, and at the Olympia market until the end of December.  The markets run May-December and April-December respectively.

  3. I love love LOVE Pixie Honey. Just had some spelt bread French toast (w/ local raw goat milk - yes, I know using it to cook kinda defeats the "rawness") and spread a bit of that sweet stuff on top.

    So.
    So.
    So good.
