We have local NYC honey back in stock!  La Cacica Honey comes from Bryant Hill in the South Bronx where the bees live in an organic garden and are cared for by Lucia Hernandez.  All proceeds from her sale of the honey go directly to the Bryant Hill Community Garden, which is described as an oasis for children living in the South Bronx.

Why is local honey so important?  There have been studies that state that eating honey made from the pollen of our own flora is very helpful with tolerating seasonal allergies, aka hay fever. If you’re prone to burning eyes, stuffy noses and headaches when Springtime comes, and would rather be frolicking in the sun, give local honey a chance.  How does it work? Theory says that it’s like vaccination. The small amount of pollen you ingest could trick the body into fighting back and immunizing yourself, but it’s such a small amount that it won’t trigger an account.

We can’t promise that it works for everyone, but a tasty, naturally derived sugar that supports a local organization is pretty sweet, too, right?
