Creators of: "The Orange County Honey Project" AND the first ever "Honery"
At Just Bee Apiary we take a LITERAL approach to the "buy local" movement. Each community we live in has a distinct flora or "Terroir" (Tare-Wahr) that is special to that geographical area. We place our hives at iconic locations within that community that are unique or special to us. Our honeybees forage for several miles
gathering nectar and pollen(mother natures fingerprint) then bring it back to those hives and convert them into honey, a liquid time capsule of each year's unique flavor. We harvest our honey and then using a proprietary method, blend all of those flavors(locations) together and create a rare chance for you to know...what HOME tastes like. What we think we know about HOME is an incomplete story! Through our human senses we can SEE, TOUCH, SMELL & HEAR almost everything around us that we interpret as home, but collectively what home TASTES like has eluded us until now. With the creation of "The Orange County Honey Project" and working in a collaborative effort with our bees (my girls) we can finally complete the story of what HOME really means to us....through TASTE! For 2012 we have made three honey blends (locations). All of our unique bottles for 2012 are 12 fluid oz. We offer a 50 cent buy back on our bottles. They cost:
*Orange County $13 **- SOLD OUT
*Chatham County $13 **- SOLD OUT
*Saxapahaw $13 **- SOLD OUT (The SAX flavor is the most poplar so we are increasing our hives their for 2013).
2013 Blends: Orange, Chatham, Saxapahaw, Carrboro, Irvin Learning Farm
2013 in the works, but not finalized: The Lantern, Open Eye, Top of the Hill Distillery
Hope you swing by the WED Carrboro Farmers Market for a TASTE of home! Marty Hanks
