Spring 2026 · Limited batch
This is not a blended supermarket honey. It is a crop from one county, one spring, one riverine forage, lab-read so we can say so without guessing.
Along the Llano River watershed, willow comes on early. The bees work that bloom, then persimmon, with traces of mesquite, elm, and the rest of a Hill Country spring. We extract without heat, we do not filter the pollen out, and we do not treat the yards with chemicals.

Lab-analyzed unifloral Salix, 62% willow pollen. Well above the ~45% monofloral threshold, with Texas persimmon as a substantial secondary forage.
Unifloral / monofloral willow honey (Salix). Pollen concentration 5,468 grains/g.
How we pack it
Honey as the bees stored it. No flavoring, no blending from elsewhere, no shortcuts in the jar.
We coarse-strain to take out comb. Pollen, the fine stuff of place, stays in the honey.
Extracted and packed without heat. What you taste is the spring flow, not a processed syrup.
The yards are run without chemical treatments. The forage, and the bees, come first.
The yards
Hill Country Spring Willow
Woody, earthy, herbaceous. Mild-to-tangy when young, with a slight bitter edge that settles as it ages. A finishing honey. Green tea, chèvre, yogurt, something simple after supper.
Lab-analyzed unifloral Salix, 62% willow pollen. Not a health claim. A map of what the bees actually worked.
