How it does good
Striving for more than just great honey
Protecting and supporting local honeybees has been a priority for Jacobsen Salt Co. and Bee Local since the beginning. With the help of like-minded local people, they've been able to rethink their operations and install a full service hive program in Southeast Portland. Jacobsen and Bee Local use a beekeeping practice that centers around scientific research and thoughtful improvements. They also offer educational classes, consulting, and harvesting services.
Jacobsen uses the pristine waters of Netarts Bay to source their sea salt (which is free from pollutants and microplastics). They also have Oregon seaweed farmers who help produce their furikak spice blend, they also use local rosemary farmers. Jacobsen has partnered with Burlap & Barrel and Diaspora to bring fair trade far beyond their own ingredients.

this thing is really really tiny. I will perhaps order it again because it is the only raw honey Hive offers, but it was gone very quickly.
