The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Bear Foot Honey We at Bear Foot Honey Farm treasure our bees, their work ethic and the wonderful products they produce. Honeybees are fundamental to our diverse environment as they pollinate our crops and flower gardens while keeping our ecosystem balanced. As third generation beekeepers, we take great pride in our little girls (the honeybees). We show this love in the care we give the girls and they reciprocate by providing us some of the most uniquely exquisite pure, raw, gourmet honeys available. There is nothing nobler than to give back to these hard-working honey bees. Not all the honeys are the same! Honey is a natural sugar alternative with no additives that is easy on the stomach, and has an Indefinite shelf life. We never know what we will get from year to year as weather plays a significant role in the honey harvests. Our honey is harvested from our hives that have been purposefully placed in fields of blackberry, clover, raspberry, or seasonal wildflowers, or groves of apples, or oranges, to name but a few. When visiting our tasting room you experience over 15 different varietals of Raw & Creamed Honeys and we often introduce new varieties to tempt your palate. From delicate and fragrant to full-bodied and robust, our honeys will dance seductively on your tongue. We endeavor to Educate Not Mutilate, which allows you to taste honey that has the pure color, flavor, and texture cultivated by the varieties of pollens and nectar's that our bees forage. We retain these qualities and all the nutrients by making sure that our honeys are always unpasteurized, unfiltered, unprocessed, & unblended. We then use centrifugal force to extract the honey from the frames, allowing us to present some of the finest honeys that our family have been producing for three generations. |
