What makes your honey different from conventional honey?
Our honey is raw, unheated, and unfiltered, preserving the beneficial enzymes, vitamins, and trace minerals. Unlike pasteurized honey that loses many of its health properties, ours retains its full nutrient profile to support wellness.

How should I consume raw honey for maximum benefit? To fully benefit from our honey, consume it as it is, unheated, or mixed with other whole foods. Eating it raw helps maintain the live enzymes and nutrients.

Is it safe to eat raw honey daily? Yes, raw honey is safe for daily consumption in moderate amounts. It can boost energy, support digestion, and promote overall health.

Can I use your honey topically? Absolutely! Raw honey can be applied to the skin for its natural antibacterial and moisturizing properties. It’s great for soothing minor cuts, abrasions, and dry patches. Ensure your skin is clean before applying.

Why do you only offer ground shipping? We’ve chosen ground shipping because it’s the most reliable and sustainable option for preserving the quality of our products. Rapid shipping methods can affect the natural properties of our honey and goods, including the radiation of foods, which we aim to avoid. Ground transport ensures that our products arrive intact, while also helping us reduce our carbon footprint. This way, we maintain the integrity of what we create, and deliver it to you in the best possible condition, aligning with our commitment to quality and sustainability.

Do you offer returns if I’m not satisfied with a product? Due to the nature of our products (food, soaps, balms), we do not offer returns. However, we encourage feedback and will work with you to resolve any issues.

What’s the best way to store your honey? Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Raw honey naturally crystallizes over time; this is normal and can be reversed by gently warming it in a warm water bath or placing on a window ledge on a sunny day.

Why is your honey more expensive than cheap shit honey from supermarket brands? Our honey reflects the care, ethical practices, and raw quality that go into each jar. Unlike mass-produced options, our honey is sourced directly from our own apiaries and local hives, without additives or high-heat processing. It’s an investment in health and sustainability.

How do you ensure the ethical treatment of your bees? Our apiary practices prioritize the well-being of our bees. We avoid synthetic pesticides and allow our bees to maintain natural behaviors. We at Old Man John’s believe in respecting nature’s processes, we support practices that align with ecological harmony as well as honor our Dine heritage.

Can children and infants consume your honey? Honey should not be given to infants under one year old due to the risk of botulism. For children over one, our raw honey can be a nutritious and tasty addition to their diet in appropriate amounts.
