Why Our Buckwheat Honey Is So Special: True Buckwheat Honey represents one of nature's most distinctive honey varieties. Its production is highly dependent on successful buckwheat crops, making it particularly rare and sought-after. Buckwheat plants, despite their name, are not related to wheat but rather belong to the same family as rhubarb and sorrel. When these plants burst into bloom with clusters of small white to pinkish flowers, they provide a robust nectar source for honeybees, 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. Buckwheat, despite its name, is not a true grain but rather a plant related to rhubarb and sorrel. In early summer, buckwheat fields transform as the plants burst into bloom with clusters of small white to pinkish flowers. These blossoms emit a strong fragrance that attracts honeybees from considerable distances. What makes buckwheat particularly valuable in honey production is its high nectar concentration and its bloom timing – providing abundant resources for bees when many other plants have finished flowering.
As a rare varietal dependent on successful buckwheat crops, our Buckwheat Honey represents a special opportunity for those who appreciate bold, distinctive flavors. This exceptional honey makes an impressive gift for culinary enthusiasts, dark beer and red wine lovers, or a special addition to your own pantry.
