Is that where honey is grown? In a farm? I´m kidding, but to this day I remember asking for Fanta trees and french fries trees as a small, city-bred child. Anyway, Uruguay affords us the chance to indulge in the oh so popular trend of buying local, and of consuming organic food and produce, and as we're discovering, often there´s free home delivery thrown in as well.
To make it more apropos to our expat/English Speaking theme, a local Uruguayan family with with a British heritage -- Francisco and James Bloomfield -- and a house in Solis, is producing this honey in the Cerros Azules area of western Maldonado.
A kilogram jar costs just 130 pesos, and will be delivered free to your door (that is, if you live between Solis and Punta del Este. For other locations write to James and ask.) The Bloomfields are also offering bee pollen, at 110 pesos per 200 gram jar.
This honey is produced by bees feeding on native forest and eucalyptus, as told to me by James Bloomfield, who stressed the absence of any additives of any kind. Pure pure honey. For those with farms, they also install beehives to aid with pollinization.
