Raw & Unfiltered, USDA Organic and Fair-Trade Honey Comes from Beekeepers in NE Brazil

GREELEY, Colo., Oct. 16, 2024 — Dedicated to sourcing the world’s finest honey, Local Hive is expanding its product line to include USDA Certified Organic, raw & unfiltered honey that is also Fair Trade Certified and Non-GMO Project Verified. Introducing: . Now available at Albertsons Companies stores, including Safeway, Vons, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, and Kings Food Markets, plus online through LocalHiveHoney.com, this pure and sustainably sourced honey from the remote highlands of northeast Brazil is gently strained to retain its natural pollens and delicate, nuanced flavor.

Local Hive is proud to collaborate with a supplier that supports a small network of 30 local Brazilian beekeepers, many of whom they’ve had the pleasure of meeting in person. The team is also working with the Fair Trade Certified program to fund ecological and social projects for these beekeepers and ensure that a portion of all Organic Hive proceeds is dedicated to what their community needs most, from accessing clean water and building better schools to tackling food issues.

Said Cale Nelson, COO of Local Hive, “For over a century, we have been committed to providing quality honey, and since organic honey is not readily available on a large scale in the U.S. due to pesticide use, our team traveled to remote areas of Brazil to forge connections with their local beekeepers. It’s been a rewarding experience to witness the pride they take in harvesting honey that will be sold in the States – and truly, it is unlike anything else you’ll find on shelves today. Organic Hive is 100% organic, raw & unfiltered honey, just as the bees created it – full of rich character and flavor with no pesticides, no adulteration, and no foreign sugars. One taste, and you’ll see why we went to such lengths to source this honey.”

While most organic honeys sold at retail come from the south of Brazil and are darker in color and have a more robust flavor, Organic Hive honey hails from the northeast and boasts a milder and more approachable, food-friendly flavor profile from three native floral sources: Bamburral, Mermeleiro, and Angico. Moreover, it is certified by the USDA, not only the country of origin, and undergoes rigorous QA testing. Organic Hive will be available for retailers nationwide to carry starting in March 2025. The SRP is $9.99 per 12oz bottle.
