Great add to your regular diet that helps to relieve allergies in my family and helps to keep the kids in school. Our family has been loyal customers for years and won't ever buy store honey again.

FIRST! OK, I am the…read morekind of person who just grabs some random store brand honey at the grocery...but I also like to take care of myself and eat nice things! At some point I tasted legit honey at a friend's house and realized the difference is remarkable. And then I did research that backed this up. So now I eat ECA honey. The texture and color are richer than regular grocery store honey, and the flavor is sweet (of course) with a hint of sour. More importantly, it's produced in the region, raw, and unfiltered. From what I understand there are a couple stores that sell it, but I live in DC so I just order mine online. Shipping is prompt and you get the sense the owners do this for the love. And I haven't gotten sick all winter, so it must be helping!

Like a portal to Narnia this little rail-less concrete bridge runs over a beautiful creek and connects two different worlds. We arrived at the Honeycomb Heroes cottage shop. It was a cute "sometimes cottage core" "sometimes hunting retreat" one room honey and associated product boutique shop. We rang the "Ring" doorbell to summon our "Honey Guide". He quickly retrieved our honey selection from a temperature controlled setting. (It was still warm). Don't be fooled by this rustic feel the transaction was professional, quick and conveniently they are equip to take an array of payment options. We paid cash though. With over 900 hives on site this is a great place to find VA local collected honey. We happily took our locally collected honey home to sweeten our tea and calm our Virginia allergies. The product is delicious and the price was the going rate. Highly recommend.
