We bought some honey while we were at the apple place last weekend. This place has bee hives to pollinate the trees, and a local beekeeper comes and collects the honey. It's packaged for the orchard and they sell it with their own label in their little store.

OMFG! All my life, I thought honey was just honey, and it was nothing special. But man, is this stuff awesome. That stuff you buy in the grocery store is nothing compared to this fresh raw local honey. We keep finding excuses to use it, and already the jar is about a third gone in a week and a half.

Nobody told me.

I've discovered that about local honey, too!

You are what you eat. Honey and milk (of all kinds), takes on the taste of what the maker is eating. The stuff you usually buy at the supermarket is blended and processed to even out the taste.
