Every harvest batch remains unheated and strictly unblended to reflect authentic Sierra Nevada foothill botanical terroir across every jar.
Cold-extracted processing
Coarse mesh filtering
Foothill flora forage
Unheated comb frames are spun gently to extract pure honey while fully protecting natural hive enzymes and complex floral aromatic compounds.
Raw honey passes through coarse stainless strainers to remove comb wax without stripping bio-available wildflower pollen grains from the batch.
Hives forage exclusively across native Sierra Nevada wildflower blooms, gathering nectar from seasonal Tuolumne County flora throughout the year.
Sonora apiary harvest method
Hive frame inspection
Cold comb extraction
Gravity sedimentation
Hand jarring & sealing
Beekeepers inspect honeycomb capping density in Sonora apiaries to verify nectar maturity before selecting ripe frames for hand harvesting.
Comb frames are uncapped manually using unheated knives and spun in centrifugal extractors to isolate honey without thermal exposure.
Harvested honey settles naturally in stainless holding tanks, allowing air bubbles and comb wax particles to rise for clean top-skimming.
Filtered honey is poured directly into clear glass jars and food-grade wholesale buckets, sealed and batch-labeled for direct distribution.
