Honey and Honey products About Us Honey Hill Farm is located just north of Guthrie off Hwy. 74C. The Farm is 320 acres of grassy pasture, woodlands and lakes. Jerry manages about 140 hives of honey bees and has been beekeeping for more than 40 years. About half of the hives are located on the Farm; others are set out on farms nearby. Three trailers of our bees are on farms near Newcastle. The Farm is also home to our herd of Fallow deer numbering around 300. Fallow are a non-native species of deer originally from European and middle eastern countries. They are very easy to raise and are efficient grass and hay grazers yielding tender, mild flavored venison, with no gamy or wild taste. Our deer graze freely on 55 acres divided into paddocks of 5-15 acres. We do not use hormones, steroids, or antibiotics. In winter, the deer are fed hay from our Farm and a mixture of soybean, sunflower and ground corn pellets. Fallow venison has a fine texture and naturally dark red color. It is high in protein and has 3.5 to 5 grams of fat per 3.5 ounce serving, depending on the cut. There is no marbeling or exterior fat as deer are naturally lean. For these reasons, chefs prefer this type venison over many others. We are no longer harvesting our 2-year old bucks and selling venison. Today we are selling the young bucks and extra does to Oklahoma hunting ranches. Fallow are prized, not only for their venison, but for their unusual antlers. This market has been very profitable for us for the last 3 years. In the future if the economics are right, we can resume venison sales to the Co-op and local restaurants. Browse through our Products for Sale Ingredients No ingredients are ever added to our liquid honey. The comb honey is cut and boxed directly from the hive supers in which it is made by the bees. Creamed honey is made by blending 3 ingredients: fine crystalized honey,liquid honey and various flavorings. Peach and Raspberry Honey use dehydrated peaches or raspberries for their flavoring. Orange Honey uses food grade orange oil. Cinnamon Honey uses Cassia Cinnamon, like you would buy at the grocers. Plain Creamed Honey uses no flavoring. Practices (our standards for raising or making our products) Jerry has been keeping bees for over 40 years. He was Oklahoma Beekeeper of the Year in 2003 and President of the OK State Beekeepers' Association from 2004-2006. Currently he maintains about 140 hives located at our farm, on farms near our farm and near Newcastle. In Oklahoma bees feed mostly on wild flowers, alfalfa, vetch and clovers. Our honey is available at 15 area stores and used by chefs in 2 OKC restaurants. Jerry's Honey House bottling facility in Edmond is inspected and licensed annually by the State/County Health Dept. Additional Information Honey does not get old or spoil. If it granulates, just remove the lid and warm it in a pan of very hot water or in the microwave on the lowest power for 1-2 minutes at a time until fully liquifed. Creamed honey should be stored at room temperature. It is meant to be spread on food. If it is too hard, it can be warmed slightly in the microwave. If it is too soft, it can be chilled in the refrigerator until the desired consistency is reached. Comb honey should also be kept at room temperature. It can be placed in the freezer without harm. Honey doesn't freeze. Liquid honey placed in the freezer will become very thick, but won't freeze. When again placed at room temperature, it returns to its usual state. Highlights this Month February is the month local beekeepers look into their hives checking for losses. Bees are fed,hives split to replace winter losses, and readied to go on canola fields around March 1st. Canola is the first spring crop producing honey and has only been grown in OK the last 4 years. Bees must be strong in early March to be able to work the canola. New hive boxes and hives have been built replacing some very old hives. Late winter uses for honey include sweetening your hot tea, serving on oatmeal or other cereals and toast, mashing into baked sweet potatoes and winter squash, using instead of granulated sugar when proofing yeast, mixed with a bit of mayonnaise for a fruit dressing, and for the kids - peanut butter and honey sandwiches, lightly toasted. |
