Mohawk Valley Trading Company

Raw honey straight from the hive is the product at Mohawk Valley Trading Company in Frankfort, Herkimer County. The honey is extracted from the honeycomb, strained and packed in glass jars without heat, so it stays close to how it is found in the beehive. Frankfort is a village in the Mohawk Valley, east of Utica.

Each honey is made predominantly from the nectar of a particular blossom, and the beekeepers plan hive placement around local bloom and flowering patterns to capture that flavor. No pesticides or herbicides are used where the bee yards are set. The honey is not labeled or certified organic.
