Nothing beats seeing our raw honey featured by local legends! 🍯✨

Huge shoutout to Paddy Coughlins Pub for supporting local farms and business owners.

Treat yourself on this rainy autumn day with a hot toddy made with Poyer's Farm Market c***r and SUGAR CAMP honey.

Head on over to Paddy's, warm up, and taste the local love for yourself! 🥃🍂

Our facelift is still underway! Cloute, Inc. finished up our staining and painting yesterday. But you know what’s better than the paint job? Having one of our customers share that the Cloute employee on the job offered his hand to a senior entering the building, lifting them up the steps.

That’s exactly why we use so much local. The absolute heart behind it.

I picked up our Poyer's Farm Market c***r today to kick off our drink menu. And maybe hot toddy is in order with SUGAR CAMP Honey.

Our kitchen will be chopping up Warm Belly Farm - Fort Atkinson apples, melting that Kraemer Wisconsin Cheese, and throwing on some Jones Dairy Farm bacon onto whatever you pick 😉 Maybe The Fireside Theatre dill bread? Maybe on a Pernats of Ixonia patty?

Our building will never be perfect. Don’t actually want it to be. But you better believe, it’ll always be a place that lifts local love up!

The Ultimate Honey Review
(Featuring Winnie the Pooh)! 🍯🐻

I love getting feedback, but this one from our neighbor Doug really takes the cake (or, well, the honey!) He gave me permission to share his latest honey experience:

"First of all, that honey is amazing!! …used up the whole jar…then the last little bit in there I ‘Whinnie-the-Pooh’d it to get it all clean!" ~ Doug

I’m honored Doug! Thanks for the review and the laugh 😆 (Note to self: sell more jars, or maybe wider jars for easier 'Pooh-ing'?)

Get your own jar that’s worth "Pooh-ing." DM me to order or visit www.mysugarcamp.com

As summer winds down in Southern Wisconsin, our wood lines are coming alive with an incredible fall forage display—and the bees are taking full advantage! 🌾🐝

While spring gives us light, delicate honey, the late-season bloom creates a completely different harvest: bold, dark autumn honey packed with deep amber warmth and robust flavor.

Here is what our foragers are working along the edge of the woods right now:

• Canada Goldenrod (Solidago): The undisputed monarch of the fall flow! Goldenrod fills the landscape with bright yellow plumes, packing the hives with rich nectar and yellow-orange pollen to fuel our winter bees.

• Native Asters (Heath Aster): Delicate needle-like foliage that bursts into tiny, starry white blossoms, providing one of the final high-octane nectar sources before winter sets in.

• Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca): Their spiky seed pods are preparing to burst with autumn fluff, but their sweet summer blooms laid the foundation for heavy nectar stores earlier in the season.

• Red Clover (Trifolium pratense): Bringing pops of pinkish-purple to the grass line and offering an extra boost of late-season pollen.

• White Snakeroot (Ageratina altissima): Dense, fluffy white clusters thriving in the shaded treeline, keeping the foragers busy well into autumn.

All of these diverse floral sources blend inside the hive to create that dark, complex fall honey we love so much. Nature's pantry is fully stocked for winter! 🍯✨

From pale golden sunshine to deep, rich amber—it never ceases to amaze us how much honey transforms from season to season! 🍯✨

As the floral sources shift from early spring blooms to rich late-season wildflowers, the flavor and color profiles evolve completely. Each batch tells the story of a specific time and bloom in the hive.

We’re officially gearing up to launch our Fall Harvest! (And yes, that means breaking out our giant storage jars to handle the liquid gold coming out of the extraction room! 🫙🐝)

What’s coming up at Sugar Camp:

• 📋 Updated Menu: A fresh lineup of available sizes and seasonal releases.

• 🏷️ New Look: A sneak peek at our sleek, brand-new label designs dropping very soon!

• 🎁 Product Teasers: Keep an eye out for a few exciting new additions joining the lineup this fall.

Stay tuned—big things are buzzing! 🍁👇

🍯 Honey Dippers & Spoons: Is It Just Hype, or Is There Real Science Behind the Shapes? 🐝

Ever wondered why honey utensils look so wildly different? Full disclosure: as a beekeeper, I spend way too much time thinking about this—because I’m total honey geek! But as it turns out, there is actual science at play here.

From deep grooved wooden bulbs to flat honeycomb paddles, each design actually uses physics and fluid mechanics to handle honey’s unique viscosity!

Here is your ultimate guide to picking the perfect honey utensil for your morning routine:

🌀 1. The Classic Grooved Dipper (The Drizzle Master)
• How It Works: Those deep horizontal grooves use capillary action to hold liquid honey inside the slots.
• The Secret Technique: Dip and twirl horizontally as you lift it. The spinning motion creates centrifugal force that keeps the honey locked in place—zero sticky drips across your counter!
• Best For: Drizzling thin-to-medium honey over pancakes, yogurt bowls, and cheese boards.

🐝 2. The Honeycomb Paddle (The Tea Companion)
• How It Works: The flat head stamped with a grid of holes captures honey in each individual cell through surface tension.
• Why We Love It: No twirling required! The thin profile slips easily into narrow jar necks and scrapes clean along the inner rim of your favorite mug.
• Best For: Stirring raw honey into hot tea or coffee and spreading over warm toast.

🥄 3. The Long-Handled Spoon (The Clean-Hands Saver)
• How It Works: An extra-long, slender wooden handle paired with a small, shallow bowl.
• Why We Love It: Reaching to the bottom of a deep honey jar with a standard teaspoon usually leaves you with sticky knuckles. Long handles keep your fingers clean, and wood prevents accidental glass chips or metallic aftertastes.
• Best For: Tall honey jars and iced beverages.

🧈 4. The Curved Spreader (The Creamed Honey Knife)
• How It Works: A smooth, gently curved wooden blade designed without a deep bowl.
• Why We Love It: Perfect for high-viscosity, creamed, or partially crystallized honey that is too thick to drizzle with a standard dipper.
• Best For: Smoothly spreading thick honey on soft bread, biscuits, or muffins without tearing the dough.
