Did you know that there is a fantastic artisan honey producer in Napa Valley? I recently met Spencer and Helene Marshall of Marshall’s Farm. I had seen their display of honey at the San Francisco Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, and I had tasted a number of their fine honeys. But I had the opportunity to interview them recently for Napa Valley Wine Radio.
I was thrilled to find out that their honeys contain no additives or preservatives. And I couldn’t believe what a big variety of honeys they have! In fact, they gave me an assortment to take home with me. I have been making homemade corn bread and having the neighbors come over for honey tastings. I think my favorite honey so far is the one that comes from the flower of the blackberry. It is dark in color and so complex in flavor! I also really enjoy their honeycomb served with my favorite Roaring 40′s blue cheese.
They will be happy to ship their honey to you, too. Check out their website.
