Who is the honey maker near Half Moon Bay

April 14, 2012 6:13 PM

Who is the honey maker that sets up shop at the intersection of Highways 92 and 35 (Skyline Boulevard) near Half Moon Bay, CA?

They sell orange and lavender honey in glass jars with a diamond pattern and a gold lid. I think the honey is $10 per bottle. I have the honey but lost their business card, and I'm too far away to make random trips to find them again. I believe the honey is made somewhere in the East Bay and I want more!!

I'm headed that way in a week or so, and will try and find out for you if no one else knows.

Montara Meadows?

Response by poster: That would be awesome! They're (often) right at the top of the hill, when you go over 92 from 280. Thanks!

Response by poster: It's possible that it's Montara Meadows, but I don't think so. The jars match, but we still have some, and they definitely didn't have labels, which Montara Meadows does. I'll contact them to find out for sure. Honey makers that go to the local farmer's market are a very good bet.

I suspect from your description of the jars that they are actually a relatively common canning jar, sorry! I'm pretty sure they can be found just about any place with home canning supplies, including most grocery stores.

and yeah, looking at roger ackroyd's link: definately common canning jars.

There's a vendor at the Sunday morning farmers market in Mountain View (at the Caltrain station) who has a substantial assortment of local honey.

Best answer: I just drove by and picked up the honey maker's card.

It's Bee Happy Honey. The owner is Wayne.

cnc's wife here.....THANK YOU JERI!!! It's by far the best honey we've ever had, and we are big-time tea drinkers. I was so bummed out when I lost the card!

You're very welcome! I'm not much of a honey fan myself — I take my tea without anything in it — but I love supporting local folks like this.
