Local honey that comes in three seasons.

The McCarthys began beekeeping in 2015 as a way to better connect with a love of the outdoors and to do their small part in supporting pollinators.

What started as a backyard hobby eventually became a business. The demand for local honey allowed them to continue to expand the apiary.

Hilltop Honey is a hive-to-jar beekeeping operation. This means the honey you purchase is produced by their bees and harvested by their hands… ensuring the purest honey of the highest quality.

This honey is raw, unfiltered, and produced locally in Central Illinois. The color and taste that varies by season. To showcase that, we harvest multiple times throughout the year to provide three distinct, seasonal varietals.

We prescribed lighter weight plastic juice bottles to replace the original heavier plastic patterned vessels. Brand differentiators were designed and illustrated to speak specifically to the consumer at point of purchase. By relating information visually, customers can get connected with the brand of honey they desire… quickly.
