🍯 Hums & Cackles Lavender Honey
Calm meets craftsmanship in every jar. Our Lavender Honey begins with pure North Carolina wildflower honey — slow-poured and gently steeped with hand-harvested lavender blossoms until the floral oils bloom through every golden ribbon. The result is a smooth, velvety honey with delicate herbal notes, a whisper of vanilla, and a lingering wildflower finish.
Balanced and serene, this infusion captures the essence of a warm southern breeze drifting through lavender fields — grounding, graceful, and unmistakably Hums & Cackles.
