I absolutely loved their customer service, Elizabeth went above and beyond for our daughter who couldn't leave the house without getting congested immediately!! My cousin recommended local honey on Wednesday and I researched it that night and purchased it the next morning online. Elizabeth arranged for us to get it that Thursday evening!!! She taught me how to administer it to our 2 year old daughter and checked on her for the next couple of days! I have never met such a loving and caring person within my first interaction over the phone in my life! That night after following her directives our daughter's congestion from the tree pollen allergy was released.. nearly immediately. It was released better than any medicine for allergies because we used that for a week without results before Uncle Gordon's Backyard Honey. We continued her regiment daily it's been two weeks and the results remain positive. Our daughter can play in the park without one tree's pollen allergic reaction.... I'VE BEEN TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT THEM...and the benefits of local honey from our area. Our daughter is only 2 years old and she reminds us to give her honey. It has been a life changing experience to see her congestion free...and I thought after her allergy screening that she wasn't allergic to Tree pollen as the test revealed because the spring came and we enjoyed the park without one problem all spring and summer long! Elizabeth educated me regarding fall allergies...I honestly never thought the leaves were falling with pollen on them from spring ( pollen actually floated and landed on the leaves from the spring pollen in the atmosphere). It was truly an enlightening experience. I learned so much about local honey through the heart of Elizabeth. Some people are just about moving a product and some people actually share their heart connected to their products and the legacy taught to them. Elizabeth shared the heart of the legacy attached to her father's heart and the love of honey he passed down to her with me and I FELT IT. I know her Dad is VERY PROUD OF HER AND HIS GRANDSON FOR A JOB WELL DONE!!!! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WONDERFUL WORK WITH YOUR LEGACY. YOUR BACKYARD HONEY IS THE BEST HONEY MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE EVER TASTED IN OUR LIVES!! IT'S FULL BODY FLAVOR..NOTHING WATERED DOWN... JUST ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL đ¤¤.
I am considering giving this honey to people as a gift.đ However, I wonder if it will only benefit NJ residents or only Bergen County residents?đ¤ I have to...
   Read moreOn July 4th, we discovered that we had a Yellowjacket or bees nest inside the outdoor storage box where we keep the grill cover. To prevent my husband from removing it himself (if he did we would have made a trip to the hospital!), I googled beekeeper Hudson County and found Uncle Gordonâs Honey! Keep in mind bees must be relocated by law so a beekeeper is an absolutely must! I was surprised that I was able to reach the owner (it was July 4th!) and she told me that Pete would be right over. Within 20 minutes, Pete was suited up in his safety suit and all hands in. Turns out it was a yellow-jackets nest and not a bees nest so they donât get re-homed. My daughter and I watched from a safe distance (inside the house) as Pete did his thing! There were tons of yellow-jackets that surrounded Pete. He has been doing this for over 30 years so this was nothing to him but we were pretty amazed! After Pete removed the nest and sucked up the yellow-jackets in the shopvac, he stayed for another 30 minutes or so to make sure he got all of them. He gave us a nature lesson about bees and yellow-jackets which was very interesting especially to this city girl. Pete is a lovely man and my husband and I enjoyed our time with him. Itâs now July 7th and any yellow-jacket that came back (we expected some would return) quickly flew away to find a new home! Now I just have to remember that a grill cover is meant to be on a grill, not in a storage box protecting a ton of mean...
   Read moreI was thrilled to discover Uncle Gordon's Backyard Honey in my hometown where there are not many if any holistic organic small businesses. I had the privilege of speaking with Elizabeth (owner) who is following in her late fathers foot steps by keeping her promise to continue making honey, nurturing and saving the bee population.
We reside in a community that does not preach holistic health. Elizabeth openly shared with me how her father started and ran the business for over 40 years. She became his under study and can now even educate a bee on the medicinal benefits of the consumption of honey.
Her slogan she admittedly repeats to her closest friends when they're in the market for healing components is "Save your money, Buy the Honey."
Did you know some raw honey's (not the sugar water honey you buy at your local supermarket) has as many anti oxidant components as fruits and vegetables? Did you know raw honey his anti bacterial and anti fungal properties? Can heal wounds? Do you struggle with allergies? Consuming locally made honey from bee's that pollenate the flowers in your respective community can build up your immune system to fight off allergic symptoms.
Save your money, buy the honey, and most importantly support local holistic businesses. Give Elizabeth a call. You wont...
