Honey's Many Wonders

Oh, honey! There are so many reasons to love it! Honey is a natural topical antibiotic, a cough suppressant and is good for your skin. It's also a natural sweetener that can boost energy.

Natural honey is hard to come by these days. It's true that what you find in the grocery store may not be everything you hoped it would be. Often times the pollen is completely filtered out. Bee pollen is full of protein, vitamins, minerals, lipids, and carbohydrates. The pollen from flowers is packaged by the honeybees with nectar and enzymes, which then turns it into a super-food.

I spent months traveling through Washington and Oregon to find the perfect honey. I wanted something wholesome and different. Aside from selecting honey that is truly delicious, it’s also raw (no pollen filtering!), unheated, Kosher and gluten-free.

Farm Belle honey comes in clover, lemon, raspberry and blackberry. For Fall, I’ve added lavender and pineapple-lemon pepper honeys. They all pair so beautifully with teas, toasts and other wholesome snacks.

So, indulge in something sweet and feel good about it!

Introducing Farm Girl by Rosanna

Long before farm-to-table was fashionable, my mother sought out and cooked with the bountiful produce of the farmlands that surrounded our home in Portland, Oregon. My mother's love of fresh food grown by local farmers has stayed with me. In honor of her vision and in support of local economies, I am thrilled to announce Farm Girl, Rosanna's first line of food products.

The Farm Girl line - including jams, honeys, syrups, hazelnuts, hand-milled soaps, and beeswax candles - was carefully sourced exclusively from small farmers in the Pacific Northwest. All products are pure and made in America by people who care. These are products that nourish body and soul.

The best way to honor food is to serve it on beautiful dishes, so I've also designed the new Farmhouse Pantry line. Inspired by old-fashioned milk glass, these tabletop staples are the perfect compliment to Farm Girl.

Being a farm girl from Kansas, my mother took advantage of the profusion of berry fields just outside our hometown of Portland, where one can find raspberries, Marionberries, and blackberries. In fringed straw hats, Keds, and cut-off jeans, my sisters and I headed east with our mother in an old Chevy sedan in search of the perfect berries to take home

Join me in embracing the farm-to-table tradition: a sustainable approach to dining that is beneficial to local economies as well as your dining experience.

Warmly,

Long before the farm-to-table trend was fashionable, my mother sought out and cooked with the bountiful produce of the farmlands that surrounded our home in Portland, Oregon.
