If you live in our part of Texas, you know that seasonal allergies can feel like a year-round battle. The dust. The pollen. The sharp change from warm afternoons to chilly mornings. It all adds up.
A lot of folks ask us what they can do to support their body without adding more medicine to the cabinet. One of the simplest tools is something nature already gives us.
Local honey.
Honey from your area carries tiny traces of the pollens and plants you breathe every day. Regular use can help your body grow more familiar with the environment around you. Many people say it helps them react less during heavy allergy seasons.
And here at McGreen Acres, our honey is as local as it gets.
If you have ever wondered what goes into making a jar of honey, this video is a perfect peek behind the scenes. During the peak of summer, our bees gather at the entrance of the hive and fan their wings together. This pushes hot air out and pulls cooler air in. It is their way of air-conditioning the colony during our hottest months.
This teamwork is what keeps the hive healthy and productive. When the bees stay cool, the honey stays stable and the brood stays safe. It is one of the many reasons why locally produced honey has such a rich story behind every jar.
We are expecting to have fresh honey available in December. The fall flow has treated the bees well, and the colonies have kept steady through the late heat. If all continues as planned, we will have jars ready right when winter allergies and cold weather sniffles start to show up.
If you want to be the first to know when jars go on sale, make sure you subscribe to our email list or keep an eye on our Facebook page.
Here are a few ways you can put your honey to work.
Morning Tea
A spoonful stirred into warm herbal tea is a gentle start to the day during allergy season.
Throat Soother
Honey mixed with warm water and lemon is a simple, natural way to ease dry or irritated throats.
Daily Cooking
Use honey as a glaze for roasted carrots, sweet potatoes, pork, or turkey. It brings out the natural flavors and gives you steady exposure to local pollens.
Honey from outside the region will not have the same pollens or plant sources that your body deals with every day. That is why we focus on keeping our hives right here on our land. When you buy from us, you are getting honey that reflects the very environment you live in.
And your purchase helps keep our bees healthy, our farm thriving, and our community connected to real food made right here at home.
