Kay's move to Yorkshire is a return to her roots.
Back in Harrogate we have recently acquired Aunt Bly's recipe book, full of amazing cake recipes from a bygone age. We are working to resurrect them for a North York Moors take on these traditional recipes, baked lovingly in the Aga, using the finest ingredients and sourced as locally as possible.
Kay's tea loaf is a staple enjoyed on arrival by our holiday cottage guests. A Honey Cake made from Honey from our own Bees is also a firm favourite.
We acquired our first bees locally back in late June 2017 from a fellow Rydale Beekeeper in beautiful rural Farndale deep in the heart of the North York Moors National Park.
Over the years our apiary has grown to eleven hives. They forage on the beautiful local flora, wild meadow flowers, tree nectar, clover and Ling Heather. The honey is processed by hand, filtered through a sieve, settled in food grade buckets before jarring. So it is as natural as it comes.
Our Spring Bloom, Summer, and Heather honey is available to buy from our gate.
