Pure, Raw and Natural Honey....Mendocino Gold ...
Mendocino Gold LLC is a local honey producer, packager and pollination company owned by David, Diane and Austin Ryan.
We purchased our first bee hive back in 2008 with the intent to produce Mendocino County’s finest honey. The rich, floral valley of the Ukiah area is constantly abloom with star thistle, purple vetch and blackberry blossoms. As the bees worked diligently the honey flow began. As soon as summer drew to an end we began our first extraction and to our surprise Mendocino Gold Honey was born and the results were sweet!! Processed Honey vs. Raw Honey….. Raw honey is not filtered or heated. Real raw honey contains all the live enzymes, pollen, propolis and floral essences that the honeybees put into it. The bees determine the color, flavor and texture of our honey just by the varieties of flowers and herbs they forage. In order to maintain the highest level of taste and nutrition in our raw, unfiltered honey, we never heat our honey to more than 100 degrees, just enough to get it into the jar. Filtering removes most pollen particles and heat can change the color, taste and destroy the vitamins.
We offer our honey in three varieties~
*Local Wildflower
*Local Star Thistle
*Orange Blossom (from So California)
Honey is honey, it’s just that simple! A bottle of pure, raw honey contains the natural sweet substance produced by honey bees from the nectar of plants or secretions of living parts of plants. Nothing else!
