OUR STORY

Local Raw Honey

Located in MT. Sterling, Ohio JK Honey Farm started from humble beginnings.  What began as a backyard project quickly escalated to a full-scale operation. Lead by the passion for high-end natural ingredients stemming from his time in the restaurant industry our founder Jacob Kellstadt set off to create the best tasting honey in the world. He knows better than any that it all starts with Happy Bee's to create our Local Raw Honey!

THE BENEFITS OF LOCAL RAW HONEY

ANTIOXIDANTS

Raw honey contains an array of plant chemicals that act as antioxidants. Some types of honey have as many antioxidants as fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants help to protect your body from cell damage due to free radicals.

Research has shown that raw honey can kill unwanted bacteria and fungus. It naturally contains hydrogen peroxide, an antiseptic.

 

PHYTONUTRIENTS

Phytonutrients are compounds found in plants that help protect the plant from harm. For example, some keep insects away or shield the plant from ultraviolet radiation.

The phytonutrients in honey are responsible for its antioxidant properties, as well as its antibacterial and antifungal power. They’re also thought to be the reason raw honey has shown immune-boosting and anticancer benefits. Heavy processing destroys these valuable nutrients.

ALLERGIES

Some people believe raw local honey can cure seasonal allergies through a process called immunotherapy. Many medical treatments, such as allergy shots, are also based on this principle.

The general idea is that you can desensitize the immune system to an allergen by exposing the body to small amounts of it over time. Eventually, the body stops overreacting altogether and the patient’s allergies disappear.
