We often hear the expression "Honey as medicine" when people talk about local honey. The health benefits are well known, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial agent. People commonly use honey orally to treat coughs and topically to treat burns and promote wound healing. Honey is also used to help with digestive issues. While the jury is out on the value of honey for relief from seasonal allergies, many people believe and will attest to its abilities to help develop an immunity to local pollen.
We enjoy using it as a natural sweetener. OUr honey comes from the same flowers that you enjoy seeing and picking at Knobstone Flower Farm. We plant buckwheat as a cover crop for its benefits of weed suppression and soil health in our sunflower fields. Buckwheat produces a honey that is thick, dark and rich in taste. Some say, there's none better! Come to knobstone flower farm, enjoy the flowers and bees, and take home some fantastic local honey. you be the judge, is it the best local honey that you have ever tasted?
