Why Our Buckwheat Honey Is So Special
True raw buckwheat honey represents one of nature's most distinctive honey varieties. Its production depends on successful buckwheat crops, making it particularly rare and sought-after among honey enthusiasts.
Buckwheat plants, despite their name, are not related to wheat but rather belong to the same family as rhubarb and sorrel. When these plants bloom with clusters of small white to pinkish buckwheat flowers, they provide a robust nectar source for honeybees to collect nectar from, especially valuable as they bloom when many other plants have finished flowering.

The Buckwheat Bloom Story
Our buckwheat honey tells the fascinating story of a unique agricultural collaboration. In early summer, buckwheat fields transform as the plants burst into bloom with clusters of small white to pinkish buckwheat flowers.
These blossoms emit a strong fragrance that attracts honeybees from considerable distances. The bees collect nectar efficiently from these abundant flowers, transforming it into the dark, flavorful honey we treasure.
What makes buckwheat particularly valuable in honey production is its high nectar concentration and its bloom timing. It provides abundant resources when many other plants have finished flowering, making it especially important for late-season honey production.
