Back to school just got a little sweeter!
The school year is back in full swing, and we have a sweet new addition at Tri-County: local honey from Rancho San Julian ( )
One of California’s oldest cattle ranches, Rancho San Julian has been in Elizabeth Poett’s family since 1837. Elizabeth lives on the ranch today, carrying on her family’s long tradition of caring for the land and preserving it for future generations. And beekeeper Billy William, who has worked on the ranch for more than 40 years, tends the bees that produce this sweet local honey.
It’s a pretty special Santa Barbara County story, and a delicious way to add a little local sweetness to the back-to-school routine. Drizzle it over morning yogurt or oatmeal, spread it on toast, stir it into tea, or add it to a favorite recipe.
At Tri-County, we love partnering with local farms and producers who make our community such a special place to live, eat and shop. We’re excited to welcome Rancho San Julian Honey to the shelves at Tri-County!
Stop by and pick up a jar for your family.
