KIND WORDS FROM OUR CUSTOMERS
The Honey is incredible. It has what makes Local Honey the best by far - passionately handled with care and love. The packaging was beautifully thought out. Extremely customer friendly. Thank you Just Iowa Honey for your passionate hard work it really shines through your products.
I cannot say enough great things about Just Iowa Honey and Valerie. First of all, the honey is the best tasting I have ever had, second, Val was so nice and accommodating. I had an idea of a wedding gift and she helped me from the start to completing. I ordered 65 jars of honey and she came through. Val will always have a place in our heart. Look no where else for your honey needs. SIMPLY THE BEST!!
Valerie was a dream to work with from start to finish!!! I wanted a custom label for mini hexagon jars and she mocked up several choices for me and made the process so easy. The jars turned out beautifully, I had colleagues gushing over how great they looked. Appreciated her helpfulness every step of the ordering process. I would 100% recommend working with this business for any honey gift needs!
A Seasonal Note
From Our Bottling Tank to Beautiful Gift Boxes
Our bees have been hard at work, and so have we. Our newest honey harvest has slowly arriving, and we're busy preparing something special. John did a small extraction from two of our apiaries, and we now have Black Locust honey back in stock.
As fresh honey is bottled, we're also putting the finishing touches on The Heritage Collection—a series of thoughtfully curated gift boxes celebrating Iowa, honey, and meaningful gatherings. We look forward to unveiling the collection later this season.
You may notice a fresh new look to our website as you explore. We've refreshed it to make it easier to discover our honey, learn about our apiaries, and explore some exciting new offerings coming later this season.
You will also soon notice a new label on our honey - also coming soon!
