Ela Orchard Honey is produced by honeybees located just outside of Rochester in the Southeastern corner of Wisconsin. It is released from the comb by spinning, clarified, and sealed in glass jars to capture it the way the bees made it.

Ela Orchard
Three generations of Elas have cultivated apples and pears - more than 30 varieties - at Ela Orchard for more than 80 years. To produce fruit, each blossom must be pollinated by an insect - most often a bee. In return, the blossoms provide food - nectar and pollen - for the honeybees in early spring. Throughout the spring and summer, the honeybees collect nectar from a smörgåsbord of woodland, pasture, crop and village flowers; these include spring wildflowers, Black Locust, Basswood,clover, alfalfa, and soybeans. The resulting honey varies from year to year according to the weather conditions and varieties of flora; it is typically light amber in color with an exceptional flavor.
