Locally-produced Joe’s Honey is the closest thing to farm to table honey in the Chicagoland’s area. Entrepreneur Joe Felber was always passionate about honey, it’s smooth texture and healing properties. He’s partnered with several local family farmed honey producers and has begun bottling this product which is now sold to retailers across the region. Saying that all honey is the same is like saying that every person referred to as “honey” is the same. Taste the difference. The product is now on the shelves of Deli Direct, Caputo’s Fresh Markets and other retailers.
