Strawberry Shortcake with Local Honey

Strawberry Shortcake with Local Honey

Fresh fruit over buttery biscuits doesn't sound like it could get any better, but when Darien Rozell of @darienleigh added our Local Wildflower honey to the macerated berry topping- it became a celebration of summer!  Darien incorporated some of our Local Raw Honey Comb, which only comes once every summer, as a gorgeous garnish of sweetness and texture.  Check out this simple recipe as we hold on to the last month of summer and, by all means, serve it with our white Strawberry Fields tea, and maybe even make an afternoon of it, like Darien did!
