Honey from fields, Tamworth, Staffordshire

This honey is pale and creamy and people love it, it reminds them of how honey used to taste when they were little! I have to agree, it has a confectionery feel to it, and takes me back to butterscotch and Caramac chocolate! It has a sort of savoury end note so it's not too sweet at all. Perfect on toast and totally more-ish!

The story of the beekeeper included
PROVENANCE
Just 300 jars of this honey were produced by bees kept in fields on Matthew's family farm at Tamworth, just on the border of Warwickshire and Staffordshire. It was taken in May as the oil seed rape was in bloom and the hawthorn out.
Matthew started beekeeping at University when he decided to renovate two hives on his family’s farm that he couldn’t remember ever being used, though he’s since found photos of his grandfather working the hives! Matthew taught himself at the start by watching lots of videos and then a season spent working on a bee farm in Australia that gave him the confidence to go for it back home!
SUSTAINABILITY
We work with small scale British beekeepers who we visit to talk bees with and see the bees and landscapes that make each honey. All of our beekeepers are good custodians of their bees and the woodlands, meadows, gardens and fields they keep them in. They talk to local farmers, landowners, fellow allotment owners and councils to encourage planting for pollinators, sustainable woodland management and protecting the natural landscape for their bees. Our aim is to bring you special limited edition honeys from more and more British beekeepers: as long as they're good custodians of their bees of course!
Our jars and labels are all British sourced to keep our transport miles and carbon footprint low. We absorb the extra cost
DELIVERY
Sent by 2nd class tracked postage with Royal Mail, with postage charged depending on weight. So my Top Tip - postage on 2 or 3 jars costs the same as it does for one jar, just saying ;)
Our honeys are safely packed in Yorkshire hay and British sourced cardboard boxes, Opening the box is a treat with the sweet smell of summer and our jar of honey nestling inside.
