Pacific Northwest Berry Fields
Raspberry fields in Washington state. Rows of canes stretching across the valley, white and pale pink blossoms covering everything for a few weeks in spring. Beekeepers position hives along the edges, bees work the flowers, raspberries set fruit, and the honey that comes out tastes unmistakably like berries.
Not raspberry candy. Not raspberry syrup. Berry honey—brightly sweet with hints of pollen, earth, and that distinctive raspberry finish that lingers after you swallow. Light amber color, syrupy texture, fragrant aroma that fills the room when you open the jar.
One customer said she pairs it with tea and pours it over ice cream. Another called it delicious and delightful. People buy one jar, try it, order more. It's that kind of honey—the kind that makes you rethink what honey can taste like.
The relationship between raspberry farmers and beekeepers is symbiotic. Farmers need pollination for better fruit yields. Beekeepers need nectar sources. The honey is the bonus.
What Goes Well With It
- Over Ice Cream: Vanilla, chocolate, berry flavors. The honey adds complexity without turning everything into raspberry ice cream.
- In Tea: Hot or iced. The floral notes harmonize with most tea varieties, the berry hints add something unexpected.
- With Cheese: Soft cheeses like brie, goat cheese, ricotta. The bright sweetness cuts through creamy richness.
- On Cured Meats: Charcuterie boards where sweet-savory balance matters. The berry notes complement pork especially well.
- With Chocolate: Brownies, cakes, chocolate sauces. The raspberry makes chocolate more interesting without competing.
- In Cocktails: Champagne drinks, mixology experiments. Bartenders appreciate the complexity.
- On Fresh Fruit: Summer berries, stone fruits, citrus. Amplifies natural sweetness, adds depth.
- In Salad Dressings: Vinaigrettes that need bright, complex flavor. Works with berry salads or mixed greens.
- Over Scones or Shortcake: Breakfast pastries, desserts. The berry character intensifies when paired with baked goods.
- Straight From the Jar: By the spoonful. The fragrant aroma and raspberry finish make it easy to eat on its own.
