Welcome to The Honey Company webpage!

We at The Honey Company sell great honey. It is all-natural,

raw, and unfiltered. This means we don't heat our honey,

add water, homogenize flavors, or used pressurized filters to

process the honey. It is the closest thing to harvesting the honey straight from the beehive. Buying this product is buying it directly from the farmer/producer (Stan). He keeps the bees and extracts the honey himself. (With a little help from his wife.)

You will notice a difference in the flavor, texture, and freshness of our honey.  This is because our honey is raw, or has not been heated in the bottling process.  This preserves beneficial bee enzymes in the honey.  During the extracting process, we scratch the outer beeswax cappings from the honeycomb cells, spin the frames, let the honey flow through one screen to remove wax cappings, and into containers.  That’s it!

We strive to keep our bees away from pesticide use. We work constantly to have sustainability by improving bee genetics to combat colony collapse disorder instead of using pesticides and drugs in our beehives. We also leave bees enough honey to survive the winter instead of feeding them sugar syrup, except in cases of extreme drought. 

Summary: People can feel really good about buying our honey.

Notes about Our Honey

1. • Honey varies in flavor depending on the flower nectar source.  Bees consume nectar from flower sources near their apiary.  The nectar reacts with enzymes in bees’ bodies.  They bring nectar back to the hive and put it in honeycomb cells to dry.  Different nectar sources change the honey flavor, density, sugar composition, tendency to crystallize, and antioxidants. 
   

2. • Raw honey forms smooth crystals that will break down in warm water or sunshine. 
   

3. • We haven’t pursued organic certification for our honey.  Bees are mobile and we cannot control where bees go to forage.  In Utah, bees will fly up to 9 miles to forage, 2 miles to find water, and 4 miles to mate. Knowing that there are no pesticides within a 9 mile radius is very difficult.  However, it IS possible to avoid known pesticide-use areas like orchards, non-organic crops, etc. And that is what we do.

The Honey Company generously sent me a sample of their Go Honey honey pouches.  I was thrilled when I opened up the package because I love honey. The Honey Company’s honey struck a particular chord with me because their honey is raw and unfiltered, meaning that the honey goes through no processing beside the basic extraction of the honey from the comb. Since the honey is raw, the flavor is extraordinary and much more complex. I loved how it squeezed out of the plastic pouch easily, and without a mess. (And, a few extra side notes about The Honey Company’s plastic pouch: -not to worry- the plastic is BPA and phthalate free. Plus, these pouches are resealable, with a screw on cap). . .

It’s that time of year again. Another spring, another saga. Same old saga, actually. The one that entails  a lot of back-and-forth wrangling between mind and body over sports nutrition. How much processed product am I willing to consume for training this year? I used to give a broad range a free pass, putting up the blinders just because I liked how much they tasted like candy. Too bad my favorites were often really just that, with a few buzz words and electrolytes thrown in for three times the price. But lately, we’ve been flirting more and more with the idea of trying out some ultra running, reading blogs and listening to podcasts; particularly with British runners, fueling seems to rely on real food (imagine that!), similar to long days on the bike, or big hikes. Of course, I’m not an anti-product girl by any means, especially when it comes to racing, but the idea of a few small strides toward more natural and thereby less processed is highly appealing. That’s why, after coming across a new all-natural-as-it-possibly-gets product, I felt optimistic and eager to risk potential distress on this weekend’s long run.

Go Honey! is produced by The Honey Company, run by husband and wife team Stan and Alicia Moulton in Provo, Utah. Their honey is raw and unfiltered, and Go Honey! is their answer for all those seeking the perfect all-natural energy gel. The cheerfully attractive packaging is durable, re-closable, ultra portable, and capable of withstanding over 150 pounds of external pressure. Of course, we all know looks are nothing compared to contents. Honey, which contains a mix of complex sugars allowing for a less sharp insulin response and more sustained energy for athletes, has potential to shine as an energy source for numerous reasons, including as many anti-oxidants as spinach, apples, oranges, and strawberries,according to a study by Gheldof and Engeseth (2003).  Researcher Gross and his team (2004) found that consuming honey increased the level of antioxidants in the blood.

Well, yesterday was the big race.  26.2 miles and many hours later, I crossed the finish line in 82nd place (7th in Female’s 35-39yrs!!). . . I did take some honey on the run. I hate the taste of the GU distance athletes use. Hate it! Then this local company from Provo sent me some of their honey and the package said: Strength, Recovery, Endurance! And it was all in a transportable package. Perfect timing I thought.  So, I brought in on a 24 mile practice run. Loved it! Great energy.. then I used it at the race yesterday, and I survived!  Obviously the honey didn’t make me lightening fast, but it tasted way better than the GU!!

Here’s another healthy product giveaway contest! The Honey Company sells all natural, unfiltered, raw honey and they sent me a few packets to giveaway to a lucky reader. In comparison to heated and processed honey, raw honey is filled with the most enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals so you get the most nutritional benefit. Here’s an article on the benefits of raw honey from the Natural News website.

The Honey Company provided a pouch of their Go Honey product for us to review.  Go Honey is creatively-packaged source in a 3.5 oz foil pouch that is lightweight, flexible, and securely resealable! The pouches are sold as an alternative athlete energy source with instructions to consume 1/3 pouch with one cup of water. However these pouches have a lot of other great uses: travel, backpacking, emergency preparedness, and (my family’s favorite) eating it straight from the tube!

I have to admit: I love honey, but I’m not one to just eat honey. However, since we tried The Honey Company’s honey, I’ve been craving it and have sneaked back several times to eat it mini spoonfuls of the stuff. 

We tasted our own normal honey side-by-side with Go Honey and the difference was significant. The Go Honey had a more delicate flavor that was very pleasing and not as overpowering as the normal honey. We really loved it! The little diners are already asking me to buy more when we run out.
