It is not certified organic. It's raw, unprocessed, unfiltered. They do not present it as organic on website. But it is wonderful honey imho!

I don't think so. It's free of additives, but I don't recall it was certified organic. It make terrific mead!

I do not believe it is organic. I think it's more important for me that's unfiltered and unpasteurized. Contains all the good stuff that way.

It doesn't say it anywhere I checked, but the product is so great:raw, unfiltered, unprocessed,I can not be happier after I've tried so many different brands...i am from Russia where you can buy honey right from people who actually owns the bees, and I missed good honey for so long. This one product is really good! But if you are looking for an organic one you should look more around. I did with no success! Tatiana

According to their web site the honey is heated to 95 degrees and not "micro filtered" which leads me to believe it is filtered however.

Hi Tim, Thanks for the note. While we have chosen not to pay the thousands of dollars for a government "certification" as Organic, we are as close as it gets. We bottle only our own honey, from our own hives. We do NOT blend, mix, micro-filter, or heat pasteurize our honey. All that being said, no beekeeper knows each and every plant that his or her bees visits, it's a physical impossibility in the modern world for truly organic honey, and I would have more questions for a company that spends their efforts and money getting a certification, over taking care of their bees!

The label does not say natural, raw or organic. The honey supposedly has 'healing' properties.We use it daily, about 2 teaspoons, but do not know if it helps. It tastes great and seems to be fine.

Local producers here in WV warm honey to around body temp to package it. I can't swear it is totally raw, but it appears to be heated some for packaging. We love its flavor. I have one bottle that has crystalized just like what I buy from my neighbor does.

IT IS NOT! SEE: http://preventdisease.com/news/14/052614_Worlds-Largest-Producer-Almonds-Required-To-Pasteurize-ALL-Almonds-Including-Raw-Organic.shtml

Because this is not Organic. Note the name of the producer is "Y.S. Organic Bee Farm". They do also sell the organic kind, just not this one. Quite misleading with the green label and all..

"Raw" is not listed anywhere but the honey is very good, with no additives. I'm very pleased with it.

It is raw....(not stated on the container) but the research I have done on this honey indicates it is raw honey....you will recognize the enormous good the honey does for your body. Highly recommend it.

I also see that this product is labeled vegan. Also when I was searching on Amazon for vegan alternatives to honey, this product came up. I agree with Calliegirl, this product description needs revision. About the Product:Pack of three, Fair Trade Certified, USDA Organic16-ounces per jar (total of 48 ounces)Thick creamy multifloral honey with delightful butterscotch essenceGluten-free, vegan and kosherPackaging may vary

I don't know and could not find an answer on their website. Although they do have an tab on their website to contact them. You could ask your question there. The website is: sleepingbearfarms.com

Hi there! We're obviously partial, but Source is Non-GMO Project Verified and American Humane Association certified while Raw is not. We also tell you where we get our whey (Northern California farms) while they are very vague. Finally, they're really not "raw," that's just a marketing tactic.

Under the ingredients section on the label it does say: "100% Raw, Organic Manuka Honey."

the company is honeytree at Onstead, Mi. It doesn't say it is raw. It is very good.

I chose this brand b/c of the price for certified organic and raw. Simply put, raw organic honey that hasn't been heated and ultra filtered will provide will provide the full benefits of the nutrients in honey w/out any chance of synthetic harmful pesticides from the nectar of the flowers. Also, the 3lb size is more cost effective. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer for more detail.

Great question....... Typically we try to go the "Organic" route on most of our foods as well.......but if you did your homework you will see the the gov't owns the rights to the term "organic" as far as store bought foods is concerned, so how honest are they really being is the question? Now, why I continue to buy this product is that fact that they are oats off of a non-GMO (genetically modified organisms) farm, which to me, goes farther than putting an "organic" label on something. Not sure I fully answered your question, but I am up to this point still a strong advocate of Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats. Especially good with Raw unpasteurized honey and raw/organic cinnamon!

I'm not 100% sure, as it doesn't say.. I would contact E.S. Eco, but usually everything they use is organic... I still use it and I'm pretty extreme being 100% raw vegan. If you want real bee pollen granules, not cut with any filler, get Really Raw High Desert Bee pollen... It might be a little more $ but it's worth it.. I still use both though.. Hope this helps. take care

This honey used to be guaranteed to be "From Colorado's Western Slope, Raw and Unfiltered". Not anymore. Ever since the company was acquired by Madhava Natural Sweeteners the honey has been guaranteed to be "100% pure USA honey" and it is now "Raw and Gently Filtered". That may be just fine for many customers...but I much preferred the honey when it was guaranteed to be from hives on the western slops of the Rockies and was unfiltered. I now seek out local farmer markets honey when I am in Colorado and northern New Mexico, if the beekeeper can give me more guarantees about the source of the honey and its minimal processing.

In order for honey to be USDA certified organic it cannot come from the US. The only countries that have honey that can be classified organic is Canada and Brazil.. hence why you see that on the label. This company has HQ's in Illinois but the honey is not made or from bees in the United States. It has something to do with the air quality required and the conditions cannot be found in the US.
