I Tried HoneyComber Club and Spoiler! I Loved It [Staff Review 2024]
Updated by Shannon Ratliff
It really is the bees' knees.
I'll let you in on a little perk around here. At Cratejoy, we get a free box of choice every month. I know, right! Not only does it make us happy, it also means we really get to know the boxes on our marketplace. It's not uncommon to see one of us in #random Slack channel asking, "I'm looking to switch up my free box. Any suggestions?" And do the suggestions pour in! "Honeycomber Club!" "Paletteful Packs!" "The Original Gourmet Cheese Club!"
Instead of keeping the good secrets to ourselves, we're turning those Slack threads into reviews to help you find the right monthly subscription box. Today's review is from Allie Cesario, our Marketing Coordinator, on the HoneyComber Club to give y'all a first-hand account of what makes this monthly raw honey box so sweet.
About HoneyComber Club
“I go on cross-country road trips in my RV with my dog to meet with beekeepers, taste their raw honeys, and talk about their beekeeping and honey processing practices. I personally vet each beekeeper and their raw honey before submitting them to a blind ‘taste trial’ with friends and family.” - Emily Ott, Founder of HoneyComber Club to Cratejoy
HoneyComber Club started, in essence, the first time founder Emily Ott tasted raw honey in 2015 . Surprised by the flavors and texture of the real stuff, not a grocery store plastic bears in sight, it was love at first taste. She dove further into her passion and now finds family-run apiaries, or bee farms that prioritize safe habitats, around the U.S. The idea of a monthly delivery service sparked when she considered how she could best share the delicious honey she found with the world, and support sustainable beekeeping.
Allie reviews HoneyComber Club
What's in the box?
In each box there are three small jars of honey from different bee farms. The variety is great between the three. Sometimes you will get one that looks black it’s so dark and in the same box you will have a light and fruity one. They also seal the wrapping paper inside the box with a honey bee wax seal stamp thing and I thought that was cute.
Why'd you pick this subscription?
Y’all, I LOVE this box. I’m not a honey aficionado or fanatic or anything but it is just so much fun trying all the types of honey. I initially subscribed because we did a seller spotlight on them and I loved the owner’s story. She drives around the U.S. in her RV, going to different bee farms and hand-selecting all the honey she uses in her box. The honey is so good and we love putting it on top of smoothies, ice cream, and cheese.
What caught your attention the most?
I loved the wildflower honey. I also love the jars they use.
