Humboldt Gold

From the Avenue of the Giants

Raw honey from the redwood coast — thirty-five years on the hive, poured by hand into keepsake glass bears.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

Where the tallest trees on earth meet the busiest bees

THE BEEKEEPER

Seth Babcock Rick

For more than three decades, Seth has kept bees in the fog-belt and redwood country of Humboldt County. What began as a few hives grew into Humboldt Gold — raw, unfiltered honey gathered from the Avenue of the Giants and poured into the glass bears travelers pull off the highway to find.

His curiosity has carried him around the world — decades of international beekeeping congresses, including Apimondia, the world congress in Ukraine — always bringing the best of it home to the coast.

Seth's own words are coming soon — his story, in his voice.
