OLD GREENWICH HONEY BY JOEL DAWSON
Joel is our local bee keeper who has 8 hives right here in Old Greenwich. His honey is never pasteurized so it retains all the natural pollen and enzymes for a healthy lifestyle. As a backyard beekeeper, Joel is dedicated to doing his part to support these tiny workers, essential to food and plant pollination. His honey is simple AND delicious....now word has spread and we can't keep the bottles on our shelves!
