Janeta’s Hobby Honey
Welcome to our family’s small labor of love for the planet.
This RAW, unheated, gravity-filtered honey is from our own hives, which we keep by a little farm pond near acres of timber and wildflowers in Louisa County.
Every year is a little different for our apiary-adventures. We harvested over Labor Day weekend 2025 – about 10 gallons from 3 of our current 4 hives – one hive was allowed to keep all its work, as it became nomadic (“swarmed”) in early-spring and was slow to foster a new queen (and I didn’t rescue it), so will keep its honey for overwintering. This year’s honey was gravity-filtered and as it started crystallizing quickly, we gave all our jars a warm water bath to keep it liquid a little longer for you all.
We are making jarred honey available for local pick-up at our downtown Iowa City office or at Downward Dog Yoga at 115 5th St. in Coralville during their open hours. We are not mailing our honey.
Pint jars are $15 each.
No half-pint jars this year!
30% of all proceeds is being donated to the Shelter House in Iowa City, and with your support, we raised over $1000 in the last 2 years for this valuable community need – thank you!
Purchases can be made on-site, or pre-ordered here and we will get it ready for pick-up.
