Welcome to Farfetched Nantucket Honey. We're a family-run beekeeping sanctuary on Nantucket, Massachusetts, born from a spark of curiosity and blossomed into a passion for honey that reflects the island's natural character.
Our apiary, surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected land, enjoys a prime location with views of the Atlantic Ocean. This pristine setting allows our bees to create honey of unparalleled purity and flavor.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From gentle harvesting to eco-friendly packaging, we work in harmony with our bees and the land to bring you honey that tastes like the place it comes from.
Our Process
Our honey is raw and unfiltered, strained only through coarse mesh, ensuring it retains its natural pollen, minerals, probiotics, and antioxidants. We store our honey exclusively in stainless steel and glass containers to preserve its flavor and nutrients. We bottle our honey at 95°F, the natural temperature of a hive, so its delicate enzymes stay alive and well. Our jars are washed and sanitized using high-temperature water, avoiding chemical sanitizers to keep our honey as pure as nature intended.
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to sustainability and the health of our bees. They forage in hundreds of acres of preserved land made up of diverse mesic forest and wooded swamp. This area, with trees up to 150 years old, provides a rich and unique habitat. The upland zones feature tupelo, sassafras, and oaks, while the wooded swamps are filled with large red maples. This environment shapes the distinctive flavor and quality of our honey. Our practices ensure the vitality of our bee populations and the ecosystems they thrive in.
