Ames Farm Single Source Honey is collected over one specific time period, from one unique geographical location and from one single hive. The farm keeps their 300 hives in 18 different locations in several counties across Minnesota. The major flower source being visited by the bees during the time period they are producing the honey is assigned as the name of the honey variety. Each container of honey is searchable in the farm's beeyard database, using the hive number and location printed on the side of each container. The database provides information about the geographical location where the honey was collected, the time period it was produced and the individual flavor profile.

All Ames Farm Single Source honeys are raw and unfiltered. Thus, some of them will have a thicker, or even 'pasty' consistency. This can be resolved by gently heating the honey, in its jar, in a pan of water to a temperature no hotter than 100 degrees Farenheit.
