And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Bee honey has antiseptic properties and is antibacterial. It doesn't spoil. Several people have told me that for the best medicinal qualities, you should use honey produced local to you.
Also, USDA allows water 25% by weight and still can be labeled as pure honey. Buy local.
Actually, the best medicinal honey is manuka honey and it is advertised as such. Originates in New Zealand. I've used it in a treatment to cure foot ulcers.
Rick- That five pound jug above was $35 at a local store. The Pre-Biden price was $24.
I told CW that after the price went up I bought a five pound jug at my local supermarket for $20. It wasn't 'til I got home that I noticed it was a product of India. Then after doing some research, I discovered some honey sold here that's made elsewhere is pure crap, which that Indian honey tasted like. It just had the oddest taste to it.
McClaughry Farms is still in business. You can call 530-273-4869 on weekdays and place an order. If there's no answer Mrs. McClaughry says you can leave a message and they'll get back to you. She said they don't deal with the website anymore as it was too much hassle.
Seasonal flavors are Orange, Clover, Manzanita, Blackberry and Yellow Star Thistle.
Elmo, thanks. I did see there is a phone number. Therefore, I reckoned they had withdrawn their online presence but remained operational on a small scale. A business supplying honey probably has plenty enough local business as it is. Online not needed.
In my business, I had stopped advertising. Word of mouth brought plenty of work. It took me some years to figure out that. I had wanted to grow larger. That brought new headaches and more of it. I reckon McClaughry came to the same conclusion.
When/if you buy honey on the roadside, it's always buyer beware. Tilt the jar and make sure it's good and viscous. If it's not, then chances are it's been cut with water, and maybe added sugar. Really, the best way to get honey is from the bee keeper if at all possible, and try to get it unblended and filtered no more than 10 microns or so, which is small enough to get all the insect parts.
Buy local honey. I get mine from a blueberry farm that is about 10 miles from the house. I have time it right once to get the blueberry pollen. It has blueberry undertones. The rest of the time it is clover and wildflower.

DeleteI reckon the price of that 5 lbs jug of honey is about $130. Seeing how it's CA, maybe more like $150. Totally worth it.
ReplyDeleteBoy, was I wrong I see on their website 6 lbs for $45.
DeleteSuper pure local honey. I might have to start eating four or five toasts of a morning now that I've tasted this sweet gold!
DeleteOops, wrong producer. Computer took me to an alternate site. It looks like McClaughry Farms is permanently closed/doesn't have a website.

'Permanently closed' meaning no online presence.
DeleteCW, the hardware store here sells local honey. I can't get enough. Mmmmm
ReplyDeleteDon't waste it on the counter.
