Raw honey from Año Nuevo, California – the wild, rugged coastline where elephant seals haul out and coastal prairie stretches to the horizon. Our bees forage in one of the most pristine environments in our entire range.
What Makes Año Nuevo Honey Special
The Año Nuevo coast is largely undeveloped – state parkland and agricultural land with minimal human interference. That means the nectar sources are almost entirely native: coastal sage, coyote brush, seaside daisy, and the wildflowers that carpet the coastal bluffs in spring. This is as close to wild honey as it gets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Año Nuevo?
Año Nuevo is on the San Mateo/Santa Cruz County border, about 20 miles south of Half Moon Bay on Highway 1. It's best known for Año Nuevo State Park and its massive elephant seal colony.
Is Año Nuevo honey rare?
It's one of our more limited varietals because the wild coastal environment means less predictable harvests. When we have it, it goes fast.
Discover Año Nuevo
Año Nuevo State Park is home to the largest mainland breeding colony of northern elephant seals. Guided walks run December through March, and the park's coastal trails are open year-round. Nearby, Big Basin Redwoods State Park offers old-growth hiking, and the Santa Cruz coast is just down the road. This is wild, beautiful California – and the honey tastes like it.
