Sustainable honey made in Shropshire and North Wales from Hedgerow Honey
Sustainable solutions
We aim to make our business as ethical and sustainable as possible to ensure the future of the bees and our planet. From those small changes that make a big difference to the larger aspects of our business, the welfare of the environment and the bees is at the heart of what we do. We work in partnership with the environment and local landowners and in the areas of Shropshire and Wales we work to protect the environment for generations to come.
Minimal plastic use, recycling, & reusing
We try our absolute best to help protect the environment. With our bees and in our method of honey production we use paper instead of plastic in our labels and the majority of our packaging, and glass jars which can be recycled to increase sustainability.
Planting for pollinators
Planting for pollinators is a brilliant way of helping the bees so they can continue their vital work for our planet. Bees love various flowers and local flora and fauna. To encourage bees into your garden, you can plant these herbs and flowers. They are widely available and produce year round nutrition for bees who will produce fabulously tasty types of local honey and different types of honey for your enjoyment.
