Hollow Hill Apiaries Pure Irish Honey. Since 1974.

Three Generations of Pure Irish Honey

From our hives in the hills of County Clare to your kitchen table - raw, unfiltered, and made the way Peggy always intended.

Our Story

My grandmother, Margaret "Peggy" Holloway, began Hollow Hill in 1974 with six hives and one unwavering rule: keep the honey honest. No heating, no over-handling, no shortcuts. What came from the comb was what went into the jar.

I learned this work beside her, season by season. Today I still follow that same pace in the bee yard, and after fifty years we have never changed the core of the process. It is still family hands, careful timing, and respect for the bees from first pull to final label.

Why Our Honey Is Different

Raw & Unfiltered

We bottle each batch with as little intervention as possible, so the natural enzymes, aroma, and texture stay intact. You taste the season itself, not a standardized blend.

Wildflower Foraged

Our hives sit among meadows, hedgerows, and upland bloom in County Clare. That wide forage gives the honey a layered profile that changes gently through the year while staying unmistakably local.

A Taste Nobody Has Matched

There is a distinctive finish in Heritage Reserve that people have tried to name for years. Some call it heather warmth, others a soft floral spice, but everyone recognizes it once they have had a spoonful.

Our Environmental Promise

We take our responsibility to this land personally. The bees, hedgerows, and wildflower corridors around Hollow Hill are not resources to us - they are our inheritance, and they must be better when we pass them on. Every season we review how we keep our footprint gentle, because good honey only comes from a healthy place.

  • We keep forage diversity high by preserving native wildflower strips around hive lines.
  • We avoid synthetic pesticide use on farm ground and work with neighboring growers who do the same.
  • We rotate hive placement to prevent local overpressure and support pollination across a wider area.
  • We use small-batch extraction and careful handling to reduce waste, water use, and unnecessary transport.
  • We reuse and recycle packing materials wherever possible and continue reducing single-use plastics year by year.

Our Honey

Every jar is filled by hand and labeled in our farmhouse. We keep the range small - because when something is right, you don't need to complicate it.
