1) Where does your passion for food come from?
Protecting pollinator habitat and using bee-friendly florals + herbs
2) Tell us about your culinary journey.
Bees pollinate more than 1/3 of the foods we enjoy and I became concerned about their declining numbers. So I started SWARM to help create new healthy habitat, which means planting flowers + herbs that provide forage for pollinators. As my own garden grew, I harvested plants to use in SWARM products – some for the bees and some for us!
4) Where do you source your ingredients?
SWARM is committed to sustainable sourcing from regional farmers for anything we use that we don’t grow ourselves.
5) Tell us about a new product you are working on.
We’re buzzing with excitement about our honey samplers, we’ve created three holiday gift Bee Boxes: Varietal, Floral and Herbal.
6) What will our fans find at your booth this fall?
SWARM will feature some of our Bee Culinary items including a turkey brine with sage + rosemary from our pollinator garden, a cranberry infused honey, and a varietal pumpkin honey that’s delicious for baking holiday treats such as cornbread!
