OUR Story
Our story begins between central and southern Italy, where my family lived close to the land - shepherds, farmers, beekeepers, bird hunters, and seamstresses. Hardworking people who loved using their hands and being outside in nature. As a first generation Italian American, I carry on that legacy in the woods and tall grass fields of New York.
With my family, our hunting dogs, and the bees - we live a simple, honest life rooted in tradition, humility, and grit. Always with deep respect for the land and all who share it. This honey is a small taste of that life. Wild, raw, and made with heart.
Meet your beekeeper
Hi I’m Alyssa, face behind The Hunters Honey. I love being outside, learning from honeybees, and weaving their sense of community and resilience into my own life. By day, I’m a full-time Occupational Therapist working primarily with the geriatric population, focusing on community health and sensory processing.
On my off days, you’ll find me in the apiary, hunting, experimenting with food, spending time with loved ones (and animals), + helping others whenever I can. Who really knows how long we’re all here for? Be kind. Have fun. Romanticize your mf life. All are welcome.
I hope to encourage others to spend more time outdoors, and to respect nature.
Make sure to snag a jar of honey. It's the perfect healthy treat for yourself or someone you love. Pour it on anything... and I mean anything. Peace to all!
