Our Honey is Available!
We generally harvest honey twice each year, producing a light, floral Summer Honey and a darker, more robust Fall Honey.
Our Summer Honey is light in color with a delicate floral flavor, featuring nectar notes from black locust, blackberry, and basswood blossoms. Our Fall Honey is darker and offers a rich, complex flavor profile derived from knotweed, aster, and goldenrod blooms.
We produce raw, unheated, unfiltered wildflower honey and package it in one-pound glass jars with metal lids.
Country Barn Farm sells only honey produced by our own bees from apiaries located throughout the Allegheny River Valley in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
Farm pickup is available by appointment.

We offer special pricing on our seasonal honey harvests. Because our honey is produced in limited quantities and often sells out quickly, we recommend reserving your case before harvest. Our honey is typically harvested in July and September.
A case includes 12 one-pound jars and is priced at $120 per case ($10 per jar), a savings of $24 compared to purchasing individual jars.

We offer free delivery within Allegheny County on orders of three or more cases.
Families, friends, neighbors, and co-workers are welcome to combine their orders to meet the three-case minimum, provided there is a single delivery location for our driver.

Frequently Asked Questions
Honey FAQs
Our main goal is to provide top quality honey to the people who love it. See some of the most common questions our customers have about Country Barn Farm Honey.
Is your honey pasteurized?
Country Barn Farm does not sell pasteurized honey. We are not aware of anyone who does, except for honey that is irradiated for FDA approved medical use.
Commercial honey packers will heat honey to kill any yeast that may be present to improve self life, but this is not true pasteurization. Honey should not be fed to infants under one year of age due to the possibility of botulism poisoning due to botulism spores that may be in the honey. This is true of any raw food.
We do not heat the honey or filter heavily so it is as natural as possible, but it is as safe for consumption as any other honey on the market.
Why is some honey white and not clear as shown on your website?
You may be thinking of creamed or crystallized honey. Creamed honey is produced with fine crystals so it is spreadable.
All honey will crystallize eventually. Unheated, unfiltered honey will crystallize faster than filtered, heated honey. Crystallized honey can be liquified by placing the jar in a pot of warm water. Do not boil. Loosen the lid to prevent pressure from building up in the jar and don’t allow water to contact the honey.
Do you sell comb honey?
We have a waiting list for comb honey. Email us and we will put you on the list.
How many kinds of honey are there?
Every flowering plant visited by honey bees produces a nectar with a unique aroma, color and sugar ratio. The bees add enzymes and reduce the moisture content to turn nectar into honey.
Country Barn Farm produces a wildflower honey that is unique to our location and the season it is harvested. Regions with large areas of single variety nectar sources may produce varietal honey that is derived from a single variety of nectar in a concentration greater than 85% in the final product.
