Outstanding company & products!
The Purple Loosestrife Honey was new to me. It's spectacular, unique, and multi faceted! As a baker I've used honeys in many recipes. As a wine lover who makes charcuterie trays regularly, I love to share unexpected and unique honeys with my guests. I also have incorporated honey into my personal health and nutrition regimen. As a former developmental botany lab worker studying Biology in college, I am supremely humbled by the beautiful variety of colors, flavors, and uses of Ames Farm honeys. They truly must be "bee whisperers". I'm proud to be able to support the company and their mission in a small way.

Outstandingly. Delicious!
So unusual and so complex. One of the absolute best honeys I have ever had. Wish it was sold in larger sizes!

My favorite with rooibos tea
The same old cup of tea is never the same when paired with different Ames Farm honeys - the flavor combinations are endless! Purple loosestrife honey has been good with all teas I’ve tried - but just perfect with Masala Chai Rooibos.
