Honey producers who hold the highest standards will be awarded medals at the Good Food Awards.

CLARKESVILLE, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, December 10, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For the second year, MtnHoney is a finalist for the America's Good Food Awards in the honey competition. Finalists were chosen from 1,937 entries in 13 categories. These food producers represent the best of America's growing talent and socially responsible food crafters.

MtnHoney, owned and operated by Carl and Virginia Webb, is a chemical-free beekeeping farm, located in the mountains of Northeast Georgia. The honey bees forage on tulip poplar, blackberry, locust, clover, basswood, persimmon, sourwood and other numerous mountain wildflowers to produce the best honey in the world.

Both Carl and Virginia are dedicated, lifelong beekeepers. For more than forty years, the Webb's have championed the role of the honey bee in sustaining global agriculture.

At MtnHoney, every step in the honey-producing process is made with healthy, sustainable bee-keeping practices. The Webb's have been certified Russian Honey Bee Breeders for more than 15 years. Russian bees are well-known for their large yields of honey and for their resistance to disease and the deadly varroa mites infecting honey bees in recent years. This resistance makes it possible to have good honey yield without the use of chemicals.

MtnHoney is never cooked, it is always 100% pure, raw, and unfiltered honey which retains all the pollen, vitamins, minerals and antioxidant properties. This preserves the flavor and health benefits of the honey.

The Webb's have the distinction of being the only beekeeping operation in the world to have won 4 gold medals at the World Honey Show. This show is sponsored by the International Federation of Beekeepers, Apimondia. MtnHoney's Sourwood Honey won gold medals in 2005, 2009, 2013 and 2015.

This year the Good Food Awards selected 3 varieties of MtnHoney as finalists. These are their Sourwood Honey, Sourwood Comb Honey and Allergy Relief Wildflower Honey. MtnHoney is the only beekeeping operation to receive 3 Good Food Finalist Awards for their honey.

The Good Food Awards celebrate the kinds of food we all want to eat; tasty, authentic, healthy and responsibly produced. The winners will be announced Friday, January 15, 2016, at a gala Awards Ceremony at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, followed by two more days of celebration. Medals will be bestowed by renowned chef and activist Alice Waters and organics pioneer Nell Newman, tipping their hats to these exceptional food producers.
