Callens Honey Farm
We live on a small family livestock and honey farm located in S.W. Minnesota, near the South Dakota border. The source of our honey is from white and red clover. The honey appears as liquid gold in color. Our honey is extracted using a hand cranked centrifugal force extractor.
Then the honey is screened once into a holding container from which we later fill the small honey bottles. We do not heat treat the honey nor add any other ingredients. Pure and natural is our Minnesota honey! What could taste better?Recent Comments

Minnesota “Spring” Photos.
It’s hard to believe that our potatoes were planted this time last year. We went from muddy for a couple of weeks, thawing and some water draining to frozen mud chunks, icy mini-ponds and more snow. I almost bit my … Continue reading
