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

~Italian Honey Bee vs. Minnesota Hygienic Bees~
The verdict isn’t quite in yet! Did our Italian hives do better than our Minnesota Hygienic? Thus far, it has been hard to tell; two years of totally opposite weather. Our first year (with just Italians) being ideal with plenty of … Continue reading
~Poles Set For Hops Trellis~
On January 11, Fred and Caleb dug holes in one of our hops fields in order to place the utility poles in. Hops grow very tall and get very heavy. They need to have plenty of good support. Later, the guys will … Continue reading
