India's only fully organic state.

Sikkim spans the eastern Himalayas, from sub-tropical river valleys at 700m to alpine pasture at 6,000m. In 2016 it became the first, and still the only, Indian state to declare itself fully organic. No chemical fertilizers. No pesticides. No exceptions.

For bees, this is everything. The forage is uncontaminated, the biodiversity is intact, and the honey reflects the forest unmediated.

Read the Story

Every jar carries a village name. Every village has a story.

We don't blend honey across regions. Each harvest is bottled separately, by village, so you taste the forest exactly where it grew. Tap a region to see where your honey comes from.

125 beekeepers. The ones you meet here chose to be here.

A beekeeper's name and face on a global website is a permanent thing. We never publish either without explicit consent, collected in person, with the right to withdraw at any time. Most of our collective stays unnamed by their own choice. A few have asked to share their story.

more beekeepers across four districts of Sikkim.

Each is trained in their own village and paid a guaranteed price. Their names and faces stay private, by their choice and ours.

Every jar names its village. Next, its beekeeper.

We're building FarmLedger, a record for every harvest: who kept the hives (when they agree to be named), when it was harvested and how it tested. The code on the lid will open it. Until then, every jar is traced to its village and tested by Eurofins.
