Our Story
The Kennedy family began with a few hives tucked into the rolling hills of Temecula wine country, where the blooms are wild, the air is clean, and the bees still follow nature’s rhythms. What started as a small family project has grown into a mission: to craft raw, single-source honey that reflects the land it comes from—and the people who care for the bees that make it possible.
Our honey is bloom-specific and botanical by nature. Each harvest captures a singular moment in time: one floral source, one season, one place. The result is a small-batch, unblended honey alive with character, rich in pollen, color, and flavor that speaks directly of its origin.
In a world where most honey is stripped, blended, and pasteurized into sameness, ours is the opposite: untouched, unmasked, unmistakable. Every jar has a name, a bloom, and a story, and you can taste the difference.
We also collaborate with a small circle of skilled local beekeepers—our Harvest Partners, who keep hives across Southern California. Because our own hives are stationary and bloom-specific by design, we turn to these trusted stewards to help bring other distinct, regional honeys to life...harvests we couldn’t produce ourselves.
Their honey, like ours, is raw, traceable, and deeply expressive of the bloom and land it came from. By working together, we support small producers doing meaningful work and help protect the future of bees and biodiversity in our region, one jar at a time.
Why Our Honey Is Different.
Most commercial honey is sweet, but empty. It’s been heated, filtered, and blended until it’s lost its enzymes, its pollens, and its soul.
Ours is the opposite: raw, unfiltered, and full of life, rich with micronutrients, prebiotics, and the seasonal depth that only nature can create.
Each small batch is:
-
Estate-harvested or crafted with our Harvest Partners
-
Bloom-specific and single-origin
-
Raw, unfiltered, and unblended
-
Bottled with purpose—never rushed
You’ll taste wild sage, citrus blossom, mesquite, toasted grain, or sun warmed buckwheat, flavors that shift naturally with the season and the bloom.
