I choose to place my hives in places that will produce better tasting honey, instead of just more of it. I believe in hand processing, not automated machinery. I believe that pasteurizing honey is a sin, an insult to nature, and the bees that produce it. I believe in slow drip, cold filtering, taking one’s time to get it right, and never compromising your values to make a profit.

My name is John Russell. And when my name is on the jar, quality is on the table.
