For Your Valentine

When we say that the honeybees on our grounds are the hardest working creatures, we aren’t kidding. A good percentage of the food that nourishes us wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the honeybee—and the significant role that this beautiful creature plays in pollination. So, with this product, we celebrate the honeybee in four different delicious ways.

Cut Honeycomb

We tend more than forty beehives at the Culinary Vegetable Institute, and both our cut comb and creamed honey come from their diligent efforts. With our cut honeycomb, you can serve honey in its natural state, allowing your family and friends (including children) to better connect with the world of natural food ingredients. 

Creamed Honey 

Meanwhile, our smooth and silky creamed honey melts in your mouth! The Culinary Vegetable Institute team takes raw honey from our hives and then whips this into its oh-so-ethereal form: elegant, light, and delicious. Spread on toast or cheese, and otherwise use this flavorful product wherever your imagination takes you.

Flowerhouse Tea

Our farm team selected their favorite edible flowers—ones that may be our bees’ favorites, as well!—and collaborated with Rare Tea Cellar to create marvelous custom tea blends. In the Honey Experience, you’ll get one variety of this incredible tea, either green or black. If you’d like to see the ingredients of each of our five proprietary teas, please look at our Flowerhouse Tea Box. 

Edible Mixed Flowers 

Top your fragrant cup of tea with edible flowers grown at The Chef’s Garden and add them to your salads, desserts, and cocktails—even your main dishes. Flavors of these edible blooms range from sweet to slightly bitter, herbaceous, aromatic, and citrus. Delightful textures that they add to your drinks and dishes include firm to soft to succulent, and from fuzzy to crispy to waxy.

Dario’s Focaccia Baking Mix

This dry mix offers up memorable loaves of bread that are a gratifying marriage of crispy crust, chewy crumb, and incredible aroma. This baking mix allows you to conveniently make a versatile dough that’s perfect to top before and after baking—and the result can be as expressive as your imagination allows you to be.

Farm-Fresh Honey

The bees we tend with love on our grounds are actually the hardest working members of our farm. To support the bees, we maintain more than forty beehives. As they fly around, they—just like people—gravitate to their favorite blooms. This makes the farm fresh honey we offer a truly unique expression of our farm.

The most important part of a good cocktail syrup is quality ingredients. That is why we have partnered with Bitters & Bubbles, a clean label, woman owned craft cocktail syrup company.

Bitters & Bubbles

About Bitters & Bubbles

Our company began with one question in mind: how can we show people how easy it is to make great cocktails at home? We originally started with in-person, private mixology classes meant to teach small groups of friends how to make drinks with the right tools and ingredients. Unfortunately, a month into this great idea, the world fell into a global pandemic and all social gatherings shut down. In true entrepreneurial fashion, Caitlin, facing a furlough from her full-time bartending job, had to pivot. She began making and selling her own line of cocktail syrups with fun and exciting flavors. The syrups were met with huge retail success and made it easy to transition the original mixology class idea into the new virtual world. Bitters and Bubbles has facilitated over 1,000 private virtual mixology events since 2020, and continues to expand retail offerings nationwide. 

Jam & Jelly Duo

Can’t decide if you prefer jam or jelly? No problem. With our Jam & Jelly Duo, you don’t have to! 

Jam Versus Jelly

Here’s the difference between the two. Jam is made with whole fruit that’s been crushed or cut into pieces as part of the jam-making process. So, jam offers up more of a texture. Jelly contains the fruit of the juice (or vegetable), which provides a smooth, clear spread.

Our signature jams and jellies are both made in collaboration with Emily Hutton’s Prospect Jam Company, an artisan company in Ohio. Her mission is to “create intentionally unique experiences through the craft of seasonal preservation while promoting creativity and collaboration”—and that really resonates with us.

Here’s what you’ll get in our Jam & Jelly Duo.

Viola Champagne Jelly

Sit back and picture the process! Apples are juiced and then cooked with champagne. Meanwhile, edible violas that were grown and harvested with care at The Chef’s Garden are tenderly dried before being added to the apple-champagne mix. 

These delightful edible flowers turn the mixture into a gorgeous shade of ruby red. This is a sign that it’s time to strain what remains of the flowers. Before our Viola Champagne Jelly is jarred and sealed, the jelly is topped with dried edible flowers, which rehydrate in the steam. The result: a one of a kind taste experience that’s visually stunning. 

When the jar is opened, stir in the blooms and use this unique jelly on sandwiches or on a piece of cheese. Spread it on carrots or use this artisan jam as the crowning glory on an angel food cake.

Strawberry Jam

Our strawberry jam is every bit as delicious, the essence of summer in a jar. This flavorful spread just doesn’t need much explaining! Enjoy it every day.

Limited quantity available.
