Local Honey Meltonby

Meltonby Honey is a small-batch honey producer based at Holly Tree Cottage in Meltonby, East Riding of Yorkshire, with the postcode YO42 1PN. They produce award-winning pure raw Yorkshire honey from their own carefully managed apiaries, with a strong emphasis on traceability, quality, and natural production methods. Their honey is never blended, pasteurised, or imported — it goes directly from the hive to the jar. Every batch is hand extracted, filtered, and allowed to settle naturally before jarring, preserving its full natural flavour and nutritional qualities. A key feature of Meltonby Honey is complete traceability: every jar can be traced back to the exact hive and apiary it came from, setting it apart from mass-produced supermarket honey. Their bees forage across local Yorkshire farmland, hedgerows, and wildflowers, resulting in seasonal honey that genuinely reflects the character of the surrounding countryside. Because production is limited to small batches dictated entirely by the bees and the seasons, availability can be restricted and stock frequently sells out. The business prides itself on being a true local producer, operating within what they describe as 'God's Own County', and their honey has received recognition through awards.
