Basswood honey comes from the basswood tree that blossoms in July in our area. The very distinct flavor and aroma of this honey is easily recognized. The color ranges from colorlessness of water to a very light yellow and the flavor is moderately robust with a sometimes minty quality. It's great for teas, combining with fruit and is frequently used for the making of meals.

Goldenrod honey is a fall honey from the goldenrod plant with an amber color. It has a robust honey flavor and is frequently used by allery sufferers in home remedies. It's great for cooking and baking especially in homemade honey mustards. It's a sentimental favorite here at Leo's Honey House.

Clover honey is a light amber and light-flavored honey. Our area farmers generally harvest the clover hay before it blossoms so we don't usually make a large crop. This nectar is frequently blended by our bees with other summer flower nectars and results in wide color and flavor variations from year to year.

Buckwheat is also produced seasonally as a farm crop in our area. The resulting honey is limited in quantity. However, this dark colored, rich, robust, extra-good-for-you honey is highly prized for pancakes, honey mustard and biscuits.

Our wildflower and meadow blossom honeys vary greatly in taste and color from year to year. Unfortunately, production varies as well. Call or email for specifics.
