Our Glyphosate Free Honey — Register Family Farm
America's cleanest honey — from our family to yours
We are the beekeepers. Farm direct, veteran-owned, northwest Florida. Before any honey reaches our jars, it is tested and certified glyphosate residue free by the Detox Project — the only U.S. honey producer doing this under their own label.
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. The region we work in, the timing of our harvest, and the way we manage our hives were producing honey that was 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 that every product we sell must meet before a single jar is filled.
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.
Our bees work remote river floodplains and state forests in the northwest Florida Panhandle — landscapes where pesticide and herbicide use is restricted or absent.
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.
Every jar carries a QR code linking directly to the lab results for that product. You're reading the same data The Detox Project reviewed.
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 AccreditedEvery product we sell — from our raw Tupelo honey to our specialty creamed honeys — is tested and certified glyphosate residue free by the Detox Project before it reaches you — 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.
