Excellent, artisan, local honey. Tried a multitude of honey in the Portland area. But this family owned, PURE raw honey is the best!

I just tasted some of this honey from a spoon I was putting into my tea.. and I had a Yelp tab…read moreopen, so I'm obligated to tell you how good this honey is. It's very sweet (like clover honey from anywhere) and has a freshness that is hard to find in store-bought honey. It's bottled raw, but the consistency is smooth and barely runs. Upon opening, there is a pretty white film at the top. I just ran out of my usual large jar of Harmony Honey from the Portland Saturday market and was devastated that my honey man won't be around till spring (ok, the address IS on the jar, so I could crash his farm. if only he'd get a website. that honey is floral and light). Alternatively, I searched New Seasons and after scoffing at the honeys from Iowa and New Zealand, and I found some down home local honey from Forest Grove, OR ($5.99/24oz)! It comes in the same jar as local Chonga's Salsa, so I presume they are some sort of deal for a small business. I'll have to keep my eye out for more of these hidden jems with black lids in the future. I love Oregon food!

I've been a loyal Wessel's honey consumer for many years now. It all started when a friend tipped…read moreme off that there were some people in the medical community that thought you could ward off annual allergy problems by eating locally produced honey on a regular basis. Something about accustomizing yourself to pollen year round. He claimed that it had worked wonders for him, and he puts it in his tea on a daily basis. While I'm not a tea drinker, I thought... why not try it in my morning coffee? It's a simple matter to squeeze some honey into your drink as opposed to a packet of sugar, so I thought... why not. Coffee purists are probably grating their teeth right now, but I don't care. Last summer was the first full summer I'd been able to tangibly test results and... there was seemingly some improvement. Now, I'm not crippled by allergies, only inconvenienced. I can tell you with certainty that I was less inconvenienced last summer than in any summer in recent memory. Enough of my plight with allergies. This honey tastes GREAT! I buy it in bulk, which translates to a 5 lb. jar (~$17, give or take) every other month or so. This honey has also become a component of my mustard based BBQ sauce, and I can tell you with confidence that I would consider no other brand. It's that good. Sweet, dark, complex, savory... it's really fantastic. The product itself deserves 5 stars, but the packaging earns 3 stars. I'm not going to tell you what my specific beef with the packaging is, but I can tell you that I'm going to contact them directly with a simple request. If that materializes, I will definitely update to 5 stars.

This place is so cute!! What a great stop on our drive and the kids enjoyed all they had to offer…read moretoo. The staff was friendly and very helpful. My kids had never had hazelnuts and they let us try samples to be able to decide on what ones we wanted to buy. They had lots of choices between fresh fruit, fruit smoothies, sherbet, and drinks such as lattes. We were able to check out the hazelnut trees and machine that sorts them after being picked - October is harvest season the staff said. I would definitely recommend stopping for anyone wanting some fresh offerings.

First, gentle reader, know that the Oregon hazelnuts from Ken and June's farm are delicious. I…read moredrove here specifically for the dark chocolate covered hazelnuts because I wanted to save on shipping charges, and I love driving through the Willamette Valley farmland. I called first to ensure they were open. When I arrived, the service was flawless and funny. I got what I wanted and was on my way within 10 minutes. The retail shop is a small space in a large barn. It's tidy and everything is well displayed and easy to find. One can also order online and pay a modest shipping fee (in hot summer months they ship with ice packets to keep the chocolate from melting). Local grocery stores and Amazon also carries the hazelnuts and the chocolate covered hazelnuts. You can't go wrong with this outstanding, family owned company.
