We just robbed the bees again, this time with the help of one of our new volunteers Hannah. This batch of honey includes nectar from our from honey locust trees (one of my garden curses due to its root system) but it is forgiven once a year when we harvest this honey. The flavours are superb, not too sweet, slightly malty with a nice acid balance. My kind of honey!
We have glass jars for sale, mostly 975g jars for $20.
If you are thinking this raw honey would make a nice gift, you could bring out your own decorative jar and we could fill it for you.
Call Johnny for pick up on 0458 381628.

Yilgarn Seeds’ largest heirloom Broadbean variety.
They are a long pod variety whose seeds are double the size of commonly known broad beans.
We originally sourced these seeds from Len from Jurien Bay, who had been growing them for many years. I met Len, years ago when he walked into the nursery with two 20 litre buckets of dried broad bean pods. He dumped them on the house deck, they were the biggest pods I have ever seen. Len’s first words to me were” I heard you preserve old varieties of vegetable seeds. Can you grow these out and make them available to other gardeners for me?
Len is one of our heirloom Seed-saving Hero’s. He and many others have spent endless hours in their life growing, harvesting, and slowly acclimatising (through selection) these varieties to local conditions. Varieties such as these would be otherwise be lost forever.
