High Altitude Honey LLC is an off-grid family business whose honey comes from 8,500-10,000ft. elevation in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. Because our hives are kept over 20 miles from the nearest town, within 160,000 acres of national forest, we can say our honey is as pure as you can get!

In the United States, using the term organic on honey labels is prohibited (if it says organic on the label the honey is sourced from another country), but that does not mean it isn’t possible to create organic honey here! In remote locations like ours, there are no chemicals or pesticides within the flying range of our bees. We never use pesticides or herbicides around our apiaries, and the honey is never pasteurized nor filtered.

The bees’ honey producing season is so short up here – about 6-8 WEEKS - that our honey is very niche, small batch and limited! It cannot be mass produced; we only get what the mountain chooses to provide in any given year. Our colonies are not moved around, and when there’s drought, there’s no supplemental irrigation like in towns. The tough mountains dictate our crop!

But it’s worth it. Our high elevation rocky mountain wildflower mix is always exceptionally light, sweet and creamy.
