Did you know that there is a fantastic artisan honey producer in Napa Valley?  I recently met Spencer and Helene Marshall of Marshall’s Farm.  I had seen their display of honey at the San Francisco Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, and I had tasted a number of their fine honeys.  But I had the opportunity to interview them recently for Napa Valley Wine Radio.

I was thrilled to find out that their honeys contain no additives or preservatives.  And I couldn’t believe what a big variety of honeys they have!  In fact, they gave me an assortment to take home with me.  I have been making homemade corn bread and having the neighbors come over for honey tastings.  I think my favorite honey so far is the one that comes from the flower of the blackberry.  It is dark in color and so complex in flavor!  I also really enjoy their honeycomb served with my favorite Roaring 40’s blue cheese.

They will be happy to ship their honey to you, too.  Check out their website.
