Local Honey UCKFIELD

Sussex honey from Little Bees Larder, small-batch beekeepers with apiaries in the High Weald near Ashdown Forest. They put the bees' needs first and never over-harvest, and they sell seasonal products such as cut comb only when they are at their best.

Alongside natural runny honey and a plain soft-set honey in winter, they have developed a long list of their own flavours: infused and soft-set honeys such as chocolate, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger and lemon, chai, chilli, smoked, lavender, camomile, raspberry and strawberry, plus orange and lemon honey marmalades. Several have won prizes in the High Weald, including their runny honey, chocolate soft-set and honey marmalades.

The full range is sold at Middle Farm near Firle, with a selection at Seasons in Lewes and Forest Row, One Garden Brighton, Tyler's Ground, Planters A21 and Beacon Down Vineyard, and honey at Staverton Nursery near Halland and Pooh Corner in Hartfield. You can also find them at Lewes Farmers' Market on the first and third Saturday of the month and Fairwarp Village Market on the first Saturday, or order online for delivery to mainland UK. Trade enquiries are welcome.
