Hidden in a secluded corner of our small holding in the beautiful county of Cumbria you’ll find our bee hives. Only available in small batches, when it comes to our honey the old saying of ‘good things come to those who wait’ couldn’t be more true.
Our honey is not only delicious but also has many health benefits. Below you find some of the reaons why we love our honey so much and obviously the fact it’s very tasty is reason number one!
Honey’s polyphenols and flavonoids give it antibacterial, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties that can help fight inflammation and protect against disease.
Honey’s high sugar and acidity content helps to draw water out of wounds, inhibiting bacterial growth and promoting healing. Some studies suggest it works well as a wound dressing.
Honey may help regulate heart rhythms and improve cholesterol levels, which are factors in cardiovascular health, potentially due to its antioxidant content.
Honey’s thick, syrupy texture soothes the throat and can effectively reduce the frequency of coughs in children over 12 months old, promoting better sleep.
Honey contains prebiotic properties that encourage the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, supporting overall digestive health.
Honey contains a variety of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, providing a nutrient boost and a source of energy.
Honey & Oatmeal was a natural starting point. Made in small batches using finely milled oatmeal and our own raw honey, this bar is gently scented with an essential oil blend of Lemongrass, May Chang and Cedarwood.
Oatmeal is widely used in traditional skincare for its soothing qualities. It helps calm dry or irritated skin, supports the skin barrier and provides light, natural exfoliation to remove dead skin cells without abrasion.
Raw honey acts as a natural humectant, helping the skin retain moisture. Rich in antioxidants, it supports a conditioned, comfortable feel while contributing to a soft, creamy lather. Its naturally occurring antibacterial properties make it well suited to everyday cleansing.
Lemongrass and May Chang bring a fresh, citrus clarity to the blend. Both are traditionally valued for their mildly astringent qualities, helping to refresh and balance the skin. Cedarwood adds warmth and depth, grounding the brighter notes and lending a subtle, steady finish.
