Great place very knowledgeable and friendly super helpful!
I made a second order from DBA and purchased a bigger jar of honey and a jar of comb with honey. My husband, who was questioning why I didn't purchase from a farmer's market, has secretly started using it. I appreciate DBA and will continue to purchase from this business. Try the comb with honey, the taste is next level. My purchase was hand delivered on Easter Sunday so I didn't run out and I am very grateful. We use honey for allergies, as a sleep aid, to correct blood sugar levels when needed, to replace white sugar and it's a great recipe addititive. I purchased the 8 oz jar to try for my allergies from DBA because their price was the best. Having never tried the product before, I went with the smallest size, I wish I had ordered a bigger jar, lol!! I will making another order for a larger jar very soon. It is a bit soon to see how well it will help with my allergies but it did get me to start drinking warm, decaf tea again and I hadn't realized how much I had missed it. I also can't wait to see how good my oatmeal cookies come out using this in them. Pick up and tours are available. I like the fact that I am purchasing a locally produced item to support our community.
Owner was very respectful, fast delivery and honest about his product. Website was easy to place my order. The taste of the honey is top tier. Thank you so much 🫱🏻🫲🏽
This honey is amazing! I wanted local honey for allergies and just freshness and was happy to find this apiary so close by. He dropped it off at my house pretty soon after my order and it was soo good! I ended up ordering some honeycomb today.

I ran out of my local honey and I found Douglas through a quick Google search. When I called DBA, he was very nice and informed me that the 32oz jar of honey was available. He offered to stop by and drop off a jar which was really nice as I was already tired from work. I tried the honey and it's DELICIOUS! I use honey in my coffee so I am looking forward to tomorrow's cup of coffee. Thank you DBA for your excellent service and honey!
This honey is amazing! Just what I needed to combat the severe allergies that have bombarded me this year. On top of that, it was delivered! That was unexpected. Will be getting more!
