Mint Hill Apiary: Locally-Grown San Francisco Honey

2008_07_30-Honey.jpgDid you know that there's a beekeeper right in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco that produces honey? Well, now you do!

 
 

Mint Hill Apiary is a small-producing honey maker that has hives in the Castro neighborhood. The bees collect pollen from local trees, so the honey isn't from a single flower source. Since San Francisco has a mild climate, there are blooming plants year-round, which means Mint Hill produces honey almost all year long.

They sell their wares at the local farmer's markets, Bi-Rite Market, Rainbow Grocery, and online.

If you want to learn about beekeeping, Mint Hill also offers special classes.

Thanks, Kathryn, it's great to know which honey comes from close to home.
