Sourwood honey is prized by connoisseurs and honey purists worldwide. It has earned international recognition at prestigious honey competitions, and is priced by honey enthusiasts for its distinctive flavor. Sourwood is very aromatic, with a light, bright, and very sweet honey flavor. This particular honey is in short supply because the blossoms of the Sourwood tree, also called the Sour gum, Sorrel tree, or Lily-of-the-Valley tree, have a short blooming season. The Sourwood tree is found predominantly in the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina. We are graced with an abundance of Sourwood trees on our 10-acre farm.

This honey is wild, raw, lightly filtered, untreated, never heated, and unpasteurized.

Crystallization is one of nature's beautiful gifts—and a sign that your honey is truly raw.
Every batch of honey is unique. The bees determine how quickly honey crystallizes based on the nectar they gather from different flowers. Some wildflower and sourwood honeys remain liquid for many months, while others naturally develop a smooth, creamy texture much sooner. Temperature also plays a role, with cooler room temperatures encouraging crystallization.
Rest assured, crystallized honey has not spoiled or lost any of its wonderful flavor or natural goodness. It's simply honey doing what real honey has done for thousands of years.

If you'd prefer your honey in its liquid form, place the sealed jar in a bowl or sink of warm (not hot) water and allow it to gently warm until the crystals dissolve. Replace the water as needed to keep it comfortably warm. Avoid microwaving or cooking your honey, as excessive heat can diminish the delicate enzymes, aromas, and natural character that make raw honey so special.

At Baxter Hollow Farm, we bottle our honey just as the bees made it—raw, unfiltered, and never overheated—so you can enjoy nature's sweetness exactly as it was intended.
