THE STORY

My friend Jim Curlee bottles the raw unfiltered honey that his bees produce. The company is named after his daughter Heather, hence Heather Valley Honey. Jim has been supplying Ceres & Co. with raw honey for 18 years now. Our customers at the South Bend Farmers Market insist it tastes the BEST of any honey they have ever tasted! Well, you could say honey is honey is honey. But Jim’s honey is truly raw, never having been heated to more than 98 degrees, the maximum temperature the bees allow in the hive. The bees fan the hive to keep the temperature below the ambient temperature when it climbs above 98, a mighty impressive feat when the weather is wicked hot. But then, IMHO bees are mighty impressive creatures all round!

Second point, Heather Valley Honey is unfiltered. This means bits of pollen are in the honey, making it more effective for alleviating allergies. You will see a bit of cloudiness in Jim’s raw unfiltered honey. This is a good thing. Honey that is crystal clear has been filtered, which means the bottler has removed valuable bits of pollen that provide many health benefits. But unfiltered honey is more prone to crystalizing. Just remember to set your honey jar in very warm water, and eventually the crystals will liquify again. Microwaving will destroy valuable bacteria and enzymes, so remember that in case you get impatient to get rid of the crystals faster.

Uses for honey:

Did you know that honey can help to heal wounds? Here is a great article on uses of honey for wounds. Who knew? And Jim’s honey is in our Beez ‘n Goats soap, one of our unscented soap options. Follow the link and choose Goat Milk with Honey from the drop down menu.

The Lineup:

Our lineup of products from Heather Valley Honey includes beeswax, skin balm and lip balm. We also carry buckwheat honey sticks. So many customers have told me they are especially good for relieving congestion, so I am adding them to our lineup as they are a bit hard to find. Look for them on the drop-down menu. This article on benefits of beeswax for our skin includes menus for making your own skin care products – buy Heather Valley Honey beewax and do it yourself, or buy their skin balm and lip balm. Heather Valley does the work for you!

How “local” does local have to be for allergies?

Our Heather Valley Honey, raw unfiltered honey, is local to north central Indiana and south central Michigan. While it is said you should consume local honey for allergies, if you live in an area with similar flora and temperatures, you will get results from this honey.
