Below is the history of Rockhurst Farm and how the honey came to be. What you really need to know is that it is the best tasting honey we have ever come across. Analyzed in the lab, their bees are pollinating tulip poplar, Alabama Supplejack, and other local flowering plants in and around the farm in Wilsonville, Al. Whatever it is, there’s something special about Rockhurst Honey. If a spoonful a day doesn’t heal what ails you, it will surely make you feel better!
