We have heard bits and pieces of why locally raised honey is better but we would like to hear from you. There’s the word that the stuff in the supermarket has been “stretched” with some kind of evil sweetener or that locally grown honey is helpful against allergies, but all I know is that it tastes great, we’re helping a local farmer and economy, and the local bee population is being stimulated.

Nate Clark at Good Earth Gardens makes your honey purchase experience even better. You can taste test the various types of honey and you can even use bread baked from A Bowl of Good as a vehicle for the testing.

They even provide an actual bee-hive for kids to try and locate the queen and learn about honeybees. Check it out at the Downtown Harrisonburg Farmers Market.
