Honey from fields, Tamworth, Staffordshire

240 jars from a Staffordshire farm — and a honey with a story that goes back further than Matthew knew.

When Matthew was at university he decided to renovate two old hives sitting unused on his family's farm at Tamworth, on the border of Warwickshire and Staffordshire. He had no memory of them ever being used. It was only later, once he'd thrown himself into beekeeping — teaching himself through videos, then spending a season on a bee farm in Australia to build his confidence — that old family photos surfaced showing his grandfather working those same hives. Some things, it turns out, skip a generation and then come back.

This August harvest from Matthew's farm fields is a honey that stops people in their tracks at tastings. It has a granular, almost chewy texture that gives it the quality of treacle tart — dense, sweet and satisfying in a way that feels like pudding rather than a condiment. August on a Staffordshire farm means the bees have had the whole summer to build up to this — foraging across the fields and hedgerows surrounding the farm at the height of the season, and you can feel that late-summer richness in every spoonful. The kind of extraordinary honey that people who thought they knew what honey tasted like just love discovering.
