Preserving Maple Grove Nature at The Honey Hut

As the last remaining farm in Maple Grove, we want to preserve Honey Hut’s natural beauty through sustainability and environmentally conscious practices. Raising our family on this natural land has made us feel lucky beyond belief. Every morning, a family of deer and flock of turkeys cross the land, as if saying ‘hello’ for the day! In part to preserve the natural wonders of our Minnesotan land, we’ve made a decision to keep the 14.5 acres undeveloped so we can enjoy the natural environment for all time.

Fostering a Pollinator-Friendly Land

Our commitment to cultivating a pollinator-friendly farm goes beyond just beekeeping. Phenomenal annual flowers and blooming trees have naturally rooted themselves on our land, encouraging many pollinators to settle, including our bees. That’s what makes our local hive honey so tasty! So, to preserve their health and ensure they come back year after year, we practice mindful landscaping. We never use broad-spectrum pesticides that can disrupt the natural reproduction cycles of our local pollinators.

Our efforts to foster a pollinator-friendly land are also part of a broader mission to educate our community about the importance of these tiny yet mighty creatures. We’re actively working to pursue our goal of offering the local Maple Grove community farm tours and workshops. This way, we can share our knowledge and passion for sustainable farming practices, inspiring others to take action in their own gardens and communities.

Farm-to-Shelf Local Honey Production

Have you ever checked the label of your mass-produced honey? You might find that your off-the-shelf bottle found in your local Walmart is sourced from all across the world, including India, Vietnam, and China. Not only do manufacturers outsource their honey production to cut costs, but other countries have no regulations preventing fillers like corn syrup from being added to the honey.
At The Honey Hut, all of our products are farm-to-shelf, meaning they only leave the farm when you’ve purchased them from us! While honey exporters contribute to climate change and emit carbon emissions by transporting products internationally, our local hive honey production practices are minimally impactful on the environment.
