The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not. 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. |
