The Story of Our Spring Honey: At Chesterhaven Beach Farm, the journey of our celebrated Spring Honey begins as nature awakens from winter. Our bees venture out to collect nectar from the farm's diverse spring blossoms – wildflowers bursting with color, fragrant black locust trees, blossoming fruit trees, and aromatic lavender. This nectar transforms into honey through a natural process of evaporation and enzyme addition within the hive. Our beekeepers then hand-harvest the honey in small, seasonal batches, ensuring that each jar captures the unique essence of spring on Maryland's Eastern Shore. With minimal filtering, we preserve the natural pollens, enzymes, and minerals that make this honey so special. This meticulous process not only maintains the honey's vibrant flavor profile but also supports sustainable beekeeping practices, making our Spring Honey a cherished local product.
Why Our Spring Honey Is Our Best-Seller: Unlike standard honey varieties, our Spring Honey represents the complete expression of Maryland's vibrant spring awakening. Our dedicated beekeepers carefully time their harvests to capture the bright, complex nectars of early-season blooms, when flowers produce their most lively and fragrant offerings. The unique terroir of Chesterhaven Beach Farm, combined with our commitment to small-batch production, ensures that each jar offers a genuine taste of Maryland's natural spring landscape – a true artisanal delight that has become our most celebrated honey variety.
