LakeEffectHoney
Announcement
Our own Raw, unfiltered honey and products from our hives. Herbal offerings to support and enhance your health and wellness.
We are Lake Effect Herbals. We bring honey and hand -crafted botanicals to your sacred space, mind, body, and soul. We are Inspired by the earth we walk on, plant medicine, and the planets. We believe in the saying “as above, so below”.
We are excited to see an increasing number of people who believe in taking care of the earth along with ourselves. We hope to see more people interested in learning about their environment and how to take care of it. When we do what is good for the environment, we do what is good for us. When we do those two things, the planet and everything living thing on it benefits.
We take extra care to carefully source any ingredients we buy. Our raw, natural honey and beeswax comes from our hives where we can control the chemicals that go into the hives. Our herbs and plants are sourced from the best and closest growers we can find. Or better yet, we wildcraft or grow our own where we can. Our paper and packing materials are mostly from recycled, reused, or recycled materials.
We follow the phases of the moon and seasonal shifts. We do this to with our plantings as well as our offerings. Tuning into our environment and what is seasonally happening, not to mention what the moon is doing will turn your focus inward. These things have an effect on our bodies and minds, so why not use them to our advantage?

5 out of 5 starsExcellent quality of raw honey, exactly as described. A great gift of bee loving plant seeds were included. As a person with an immune deficiency, allergies and asthma I eat local raw honey daily, it was great to find Lake Effect Honey in such sort notice and received so quickly.

Raw unfiltered honey Botanical offerings for ritual and wellness
We produce pure, raw honey from our hives in Newark, NY and Palermo, NY. Raw honey still contains vitamins, amino acids, and pollen. We extract and bottle all of our honey ourselves. We are a small family operation and we are Certified Naturally Grown. This means we are committed to managing our hives organically. We do not use our hives to pollinate commercial crops and this means less pesticide, fungicide, and herbicide exposure for our bees, and these poisons are not carried back to the hive to be in your honey, wax, and propolis. We harvest our honey seasonally – spring, summer, and late summer– to capture the distinct floral flavors and aromas that are representative the native trees and wildflowers.
I handcraft our botanical offerings. I grow and wildcraft many of the plants I use. Others I need to source, and I use organic plants from reputable sources. As a Registered Nurse I believe we should all be our own best health advocate. I truly believe plants are a very real option we can all use to support our health and wellness. The more herbal education I complete, the more I believe in this path. Without our health, we have nothing.
