FARM-TO-TABLE MUST-HAVES

Björn’s Colorado Honey

This raw, unfiltered honey tastes amazing and provides all the health benefits local pollen provide. Pontus Jakobsson, the company’s beekeeper, grew up in Sweden and learned the practice from his grandfather (and company namesake) Björn. His wife, Lara, and daughter Ester, along with a knowledgeable crew help create their line of bee-based skincare products featuring beeswax, honey and propolis. A new fav is Björn’s Bee Pollen Honey, which combines local honey and bee pollen blended for people looking to add more bee pollen to their diet as a potent protein source and seasonal allergy fighter. Plus, it’s full of B vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
