Their mission is simple: to bring you honey that\u2019s as close to nature as it gets \u2013 raw, unfiltered (except for wax and bees), and packed with the goodness the bees intended. And the best part? You can find their full range of handcrafted honey\u00a0every weekend at the Catalina Bay Farmers Market.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":5} -->\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Harvest &amp; Store \u2013 A Natural Beginning<\/h5>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>At Earthbound Honey, quality comes first. Their honey is hand-harvested just once or twice a season, allowing the bees to thrive and the honey to mature naturally. It\u2019s then promptly packed and stored to preserve its flavour and integrity. Karlene and Terry follow organic practices wherever possible, ensuring the honey remains free of synthetic additives or treatments.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":5} -->\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refine &amp; Process \u2013 Nothing Unnatural Here<\/h5>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Earthbound Honey is never heat-treated or pasteurized. Instead, it&#8217;s gently filtered to remove only bees and excess wax \u2013 leaving behind the natural pollens, enzymes, trace minerals, and complex sugars that make raw honey so special. Every batch is independently lab-tested to ensure it meets the highest standards of purity and quality.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":5} -->\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Craft &amp; Pack \u2013 Simple, Honest, Sustainable<\/h5>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Every jar tells a story. Earthbound Honey is packaged with intention: no plastic (unless requested), only glass jars and minimalist labels that reflect their no-fuss, eco-conscious values. There\u2019s no flashy branding here \u2013 just raw, beautiful honey as it should be.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":5} -->\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Than Just Honey \u2013 Natural Skincare &amp; Artisan Wares<\/h5>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Beyond their golden jars, Earthbound Honey also offers a thoughtfully curated range of handcrafted products made from their own beeswax and other natural ingredients. From nourishing\u00a0lip balms,\u00a0tattoo balms, and\u00a0beard waxes\u00a0to all-natural\u00a0hair wax, each product is designed to be gentle on your skin and kind to the planet. You\u2019ll also find beautifully made\u00a0natural beeswax candles, perfect for bringing a touch of rustic charm and subtle fragrance into your home.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!--

{\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"18px\"}}} -->\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Waggamuffin Pet Supplies was born from a deep, lifelong love of animals. The founders have always had pets in their lives, and that devotion only grew as they started families of their own. What really sparked the creation of Waggamuffin, though, was something many of us can relate to\u2014a growing concern about what goes into our pets&#8217; food.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"18px\"}}} -->\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">After reading articles about the chemicals and additives found in some commercial pet products, they knew they had to make a change. That change became their mission: to provide healthier, more natural options for pets.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"18px\"}}} -->\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">They started with 100% natural, New Zealand-made dehydrated treats  for dogs and cats. Since then, their range has expanded to include raw frozen food and premium kibble. They believe pets, like people, benefit from a varied diet. That means raw food for vital nutrients, bones and chews to keep teeth clean and strong, and, of course, a good treat every now and then.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"18px\"}}} -->\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">When I visited the stall, I was lucky enough to meet some of their four-legged fans\u2014Leah, Koda, and Rooster. Each furry friend made a beeline for the treats and clearly\u00a0loved\u00a0the stall.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"18px\"}}} -->\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">You can find Waggamuffin Pet Supplies at their permanent stall at the Catalina Bay Farmers Market, where they continue to share their passion with fellow animal lovers.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph {\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"18px\"}}} -->\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Waggamuffin isn\u2019t just about pet food\u2014it\u2019s about giving pets the healthy, happy lives they deserve.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:column -->\n\n<!-- wp:column -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\"><!--
