Barney’s Honey- Strood

Barney’s Honey is a small operation in Strood, Kent, where the hives sit right at the bottom of the garden. It’s raw honey from Strood in the truest sense: the bees forage across the neighbouring gardens and wildflowers of the Medway towns, so every harvest carries the character of the streets around it. Nothing is pasteurised. The honey is coarse-filtered straight from the hive into the jar, which keeps the natural pollens and local flavours where they belong rather than straining them away. That means no two harvests taste quite the same, as the season moves through whatever happens to be flowering nearby. For anyone in Strood or the wider Medway area looking for honey that genuinely comes from their own patch, Barney’s Honey is about as local as it gets.
