Honey

We get our honey from happy, healthy Sussex bees. 
Mickelmus Blackman, founder of Blackmans Beefarm, started his business from just a few hives in his back garden in Hove and describes himself first and foremost as a ‘sustainable pollinator’.

There’s no factory-farm scale operations here and whilst manuka honey is widely-regarded for its medicinal effects, you’ll be pleased to read that studies have shown it’s not the only kind to be effective at killing pathogens. No wonder then that traditional remedies have long used honey to heal wounds and hurry along recovery from colds, and as this honey is raw it retains all its natural enzymes, antioxidants and antibacterial properties. These properties will diminish with cooking so we suggest only gently heating by adding it to dishes at the last minute or reserving for dressings, drinks and drizzling on yoghurt.
