🍯 Honey & Berry Harmony
We craft Violet Dawn using raw, unfiltered Texas honey paired with sweet, ripe blueberries from East Texas . The honey brings natural sweetness and depth, while the berries introduce an invigorating tang—creating a bright, balanced symphony of flavors. This is small‑batch mead at its best: pure, purposeful, and tied to the land.
