Our Glyphosate Free Honey — Register Family Farm
America's cleanest honey — from our family to yours
Farm direct, veteran-owned, northwest Florida. Our honey is certified Glyphosate Residue Free by the Detox Project — independently verified, not self-reported. As far as we can find, we are the only U.S. beekeepers whose own-label honey carries that certification.
An independent third-party certification requiring verified lab results at random intervals throughout the year. Not self-reported. Not a one-time claim.
Like a lot of families, we started paying closer attention to what was in our food. Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the U.S., and research into its presence in our food supply has grown alongside that use. As beekeepers, we wanted to know whether it was showing up in our honey.
So we had it tested. What came back surprised us: our honey was exceptionally clean — essentially free of glyphosate residue, in an era when that's increasingly hard to guarantee.
"We didn't start testing to make a marketing claim. We started because our kids eat this honey, and we wanted to know what was in it."
Since then, we've formalized that commitment into what we call our Clean Honey Standard — a standard our honey must meet to carry our label.
Glyphosate is the world's most widely used agricultural herbicide — applied to crops, roadsides, and fields across the country. Because bees forage widely, it can make its way into honey when bees visit treated plants or water sources near treated areas.
Bees forage up to 3 miles from the hive. If nearby fields or plants have been treated with common agricultural herbicides, residue can enter the hive through nectar and pollen.
Product samples are sent to Light Labs, our independent ISO 17025-accredited testing laboratory, where they are analyzed for glyphosate residue using mass spectrometry — the most precise detection method available.
Lab results are submitted to The Detox Project for independent review. Light Labs and The Detox Project are unaffiliated — there is no conflict of interest.
Our certification requires re-submission at random intervals throughout the year. If results ever came back outside the threshold, certification would be suspended immediately.

Light Labs is an independent laboratory specializing in food contaminant testing. Their scientists use mass spectrometry to detect and quantify trace levels of herbicides, pesticides, and other contaminants in food products. Trusted by some of the most demanding clean-label brands in the country, they deliver results with a level of precision and speed that sets them apart in the industry.
✓ ISO 17025 AccreditedOur honey and the ingredients in it — from our raw Tupelo honey to our specialty creamed honeys — are certified Glyphosate Residue Free by the Detox Project — independently verified, not self-reported. This isn't a marketing program. It's a standard we set for our own family first, and one we stand behind for yours.
