OUR STORY
Konnichiwa! And welcome to Herb Garden Honey. Nestled in a charming Japanese village of Toyota, Aichi, our small apiary herb garden is a hidden gem.

Meet Katsunori & Kimberly
Our journey began with a deep admiration for bees and a desire to create a sustainable and nurturing environment for them. As a husband and wife team, we are continually learning and enhancing our beekeeping practices to raise strong and healthy colonies. We prioritize organic treatments, avoiding harmful chemicals and antibiotics, ensuring the well-being of our beloved bees. And in return, we get rewarded with bountiful harvest of delicious, local honey!
To Our Bees, To Our Customers, and To Sustainability
We believe in taking only the extra honey, ensuring that our bees always have enough to thrive through the winter. This means we never resort to supplementing their diet with sugar water, guaranteeing that every drop of our honey is pure and sourced directly from the diverse array of flowers surrounding our apiary. Not only do our bees flourish on the natural nutrition provided by nature itself, our customers can also enjoy pure honey that's untainted with sugar water.
When it comes to harvesting honey, we are meticulous in our approach. We only collect honey from special frames dedicated solely to storing honey, never disrupting the frames where our bees nurture their precious brood. This ensures that the honey you receive is uncontaminated, while safeguarding the well-being of every baby bee.
Furthermore, we only select fully capped honey frames for harvesting, naturally cured by our diligent bees to achieve optimal low water content. By doing so, there is no need for extra processing through heating or ultra-filtration, preserving the raw essence of our honey. Each jar of honey is perfected by our bees, ensuring the preservation of vital enzymes, polyphenols, and powerful antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.
But we don't stop at honey. In our commitment to sustainable practices, we've turned our apiary into a pesticide-free and synthetic fertilizer-free herb garden. This vibrant oasis is home to a diverse selection of aromatic and medicinal herbs. By infusing our pure, raw honey with the natural essence of these herbs, we are able to create a range of herb-infused honey, each with their unique medicinal properties, aroma and flavor.
We invite you to explore the wonders of our handcrafted honey collection. With each jar, you can expect the highest quality and purest of flavors nature has to offer. And with every purchase from Herb Garden Honey, you are supporting sustainable beekeeping practices, contributing to the preservation of vital pollinators, and making a positive impact on our environment.
