The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Bear Foot Honey We at Bear Foot Honey Farm treasure our bees, their work ethic and the wonderful products they produce. Honeybees are fundamental to our diverse environment as they pollinate our crops and flower gardens while keeping our ecosystem balanced. As third generation beekeepers, we take great pride in our little girls (the honeybees). We show this love in the care we give the girls and they reciprocate by providing us some of the most uniquely exquisite pure, raw, gourmet honeys available. There is nothing nobler than to give back to these hard-working honey bees. Not all the honeys are the same! Honey is a natural sugar alternative with no additives that is easy on the stomach, and has an Indefinite shelf life. We never know what we will get from year to year as weather plays a significant role in the honey harvests. Our honey is harvested from our hives that have been purposefully placed in fields of blackberry, clover, raspberry, or seasonal wildflowers, or groves of apples, or oranges, to name but a few. When visiting our tasting room you experience over 15 different varietals of Raw & Creamed Honeys and we often introduce new varieties to tempt your palate. From delicate and fragrant to full-bodied and robust, our honeys will dance seductively on your tongue. We endeavor to Educate Not Mutilate, which allows you to taste honey that has the pure color, flavor, and texture cultivated by the varieties of pollens and nectar's that our bees forage. We retain these qualities and all the nutrients by making sure that our honeys are always unpasteurized, unfiltered, unprocessed, & unblended. We then use centrifugal force to extract the honey from the frames, allowing us to present some of the finest honeys that our family have been producing for three generations. |
