AWARDS
GOOD FOOD AWARDS 2016
Bees’ Needs was honored to accept our second Good Food Award, in San Francisco, on January 15, 2016 for our “Fabulous Fall” honey, produced by bees at Marilee Foster’s farm in Poxabogue.
GOOD FOOD AWARDS 2015
Bees’ Needs was invited to submit entries for the Good Food Awards in 2015, the first year the awards included honey. “The Good Food Awards celebrate the kind of food we all want to eat: tasty, authentic and responsibly produced.” They judge entries on both taste and sustainability criteria, and are the first national initiative to do so. The process begins with a blind tasting. (We were thrilled that all three of our submissions were high scoring entries!) The high scoring entries are further scrutinized for sustainability and social responsibility criteria through a vetting questionnaire. Our black locust + blackberry from Quail Hill Farm emerged as the East region’s best liquid honey, one of five national winners.
