Ames Farm Honey

Brian Fredrickson is serious about his honey. Produced on their “virtual farm” comprising 5 orchards and 300 hives at 18 bee locations throught central and southern Minnesota, Ames Farm honey is “a floral portrait” of our region. Each jar is labeled not only with the type of flower the bees fed on while producing it, but also with the number of the hive. After you buy a jar, you can take it home, log on to your computer, and find out exactly where it came from on the Ames Farm website.

If that isn’t good enough for you, how about the taste? And the color? And the romance of eating something so beautiful and pure? Food & Wine Magazine selected Ames Farm’s buckwheat honey as one of the best artisanal honeys in America recently, so it’s now a national favorite.

The staff at the co-op are big fans of Ames Farm Honey, honeycomb, and beeswax candles (available at Linden Hills Natural Home). Try it; we think you’ll join the fan club, too.

Brian Fredericksen will be at the co-op on Friday, August 15 fron noon to three to help us kick off the Eat Local America Challenge.
