We started Honey, the Moon! Farms in an effort to support the ancient, natural beekeeping practices still being done in Greece and to share these unique, rare varietals with America. We are out to change the way people think about honey. Honey, the Moon! Farms was started by 2 local PA beekeepers who love local honey. But when we met a beekeeper in Greece (also a friend) and tasted some of his honey, our minds were blown...He harvests some of the purest, most delicious, monofloral, raw honey we've ever tasted. Most importantly, he practices natural beekeeping, does not feed his bees extra sugar to make them produce higher quantities or use antibiotics and locates his hives far from agriculture in the mountains of the Thessaly Valley. Although Greece has some of the most unique varietal honeys, they export very little and it's hard to find this amazing product in the USA. In fact, 76% of the honey in US grocery stores couldn't even be labeled as honey in Europe. Humans consume 460 million tons of honey per year, but beekeepers harvest only 260 million tons. That doesn't add up. Adding corn and rice syrup to honey isn't just unhealthy for humans, it's also bad for global economic well-being. It keeps the price of honey artificially low and prevents real beekeepers from earning a living. H,TM!F wants to do their part to change that inequity.
