Natural Raw Connecticut Honey

We at Autumn Harvest Orchard LLC collect local, pure, natural wildflower and apple blossom honey. We are a Certified Naturally Grown “Apiary” and a member of the Connecticut Beekeepers Association since 2005. In addition, to the apiary we are also a Certified Naturally Grown “Orchard” producing all natural apples, pears, nectarines, berries and vegetables without pesticides or herbicides in our field or growing process. Unlike many other honey producers, our hives are carefully tended to and located right on our farm where the bees are not exposed to these toxic chemicals and thereby not bringing these harmful pesticides into the hives or honey supers.

Will Our Honey Crystallize Over Time?

Yes, our honey along with most pure, raw honey can crystallize over time. Crystallized honey is what happens when your honey solidifies, and this is a very natural process.

But there’s no need to worry.  Here’s a few different suggestions. If possible, keep your honey in a liquid state by storing it at 65 degree or higher. You can also liquify your honey simply by heating the honey. 

  • Remove the metal or plastic caps on the glass honey jars and microwave for 1-2 minutes. 
  • For the plastic bears warm the honey in a pan of hot water on the stove until it reverts back to a liquified state. 

Note: Never microwave any plastic container.

Our honey is filtered and unpasteurized, making it delicious in both its liquid or crystallized form!
