Small-batch raw honey by Peter Hadeka, VBA Certified Beekeeper. Three harvests a year. Three thousand acres of open meadow. Never heated past 95°F. Never ultra-filtered. Always in glass.

Our Story

Three Generations. One Valley. Pure Honey.

From Hive to Home, With Care

Peter Hadeka grew up watching his grandfather tend hives at the edge of the family's Castleton meadow. What began as childhood curiosity became a lifelong calling — and today, Peter is a VBA Certified Beekeeper managing colonies across the Champlain Valley's richest wildflower corridors.

Every jar of Peter's Wildflower Honey starts where the valley meets the Green Mountains. More than 3,000 acres of untamed meadow give the bees access to clover, dandelion, blackberry, goldenrod, basswood, and aster — a changing palate that shifts with each season.

"This isn't a product. It's a landscape in a jar — the Champlain Valley, one spoonful at a time." — Peter Hadeka, Beekeeper

We keep our process simple and deliberate: hand-selected frames, cold extraction at 95°F, and gravity-fed bottling into reusable glass. No shortcuts, no ultra-filtration, no plastic. Just honey the way it came from the hive.

— Peter Hadeka

Our Process

From Meadow to Jar, Uncompromised.

1

Sustainable Forage

Our bees roam over 3,000 acres of open Champlain Valley meadow — no migrated hives, no supplemental feeding, just wild nectar from wild places.

2

Gentle Harvest

We hand-select only fully capped frames and uncap them with heated knives — slow, careful work that protects the comb and the colony.

3

Cold Extraction

Honey is extracted by centrifugal spin at or below 95°F, preserving the natural enzymes, pollen, and flavor the bees intended.

4

Hand Bottled

Every jar is filled by gravity — never pumped — and sealed in reusable glass because honey belongs in glass, never plastic.

Why Trust Us

Certified. Raw. Glass Only. Period.

VBA Certified Beekeeper

Peter holds certification through the Vermont Beekeepers Association — verified training in hive health, sustainable apiary practices, and responsible honey production.

100% Raw

We never heat our honey past 95°F and never ultra-filter it — so every jar retains its natural enzymes, pollen, aroma, and flavor.

Glass Only

Our honey is bottled exclusively in reusable glass jars. Zero plastic — not in our packaging, not in our process, not ever.
