Bio of Raw oregon Honey

Raw Oregon Honey is a family company run by three generations of Vollintines, with several apiaries along the Willamette River. We have apiaries from Troutdale to Sauvie Island to Woodburn.  Our honeybees harvest nectar from the local blooms in Oak Grove, Oregon, where we live. The honey we Vollintines harvest is RAW and LOCAL, filtered only once and never heated. Because the honey is unprocessed, all the natural qualities are kept alive. Raw honey contains bits of wax, pollen and propolis. We have never blended or altered any of our honey, which ensures the quality and unique flavors our bees produce remain intact when the product makes its way to you, the consumer. 

Straight-from-the-hive Raw Oregon Honey’s unique flavor is rooted in the Oak Grove area’s blackberries, old-growth trees, and residents’ diverse gardening choices. One-hundred percent pure, natural, unpasteurized, and unfiltered, Raw Oregon Honey is a whole, antioxidant-rich food that’s wholly local and delicious.

Raw Oregon Honey practices sustainable farming methods and uses no chemicals, and our Queen bees are raised from west coast stocks to help ensure the survival of the Northwest Honeybee.
