NEWS March 1, 2010 - Press Release - Persing Woods Raw Honey Brings Holistic Wellness to the Community

ABOUT PERSING WOODS Persing Woods, LLC is a niche organic products farm located on 200 acres of pristine pasture and woodlands in the Southern Tier region of New York State. Elmira, once home to Mark Twain and Ernie Davis, is a true "small town, USA". The town is usually not thought of in people's minds as the hub of agripreneurship. However, sometimes the best opportunities lie outside of the normal places and within the undiscovered regions. As transplanted New York City folks, each day is a challenge to get the whole "farming business" right. Our mission is to create a truly sustainable enterprise. Sustainability, in our philosophy, means incorporating business acumen, respect for nature, and conservationism into a working model that truly utilizes all of these resources in the most efficient and beneficial ways. Many of our friends and family members love the fact that the once ultimate urban couple have moved from the East Side to the Country Side. But what a joy it is to spend days outdoors on the trails with our Alpine goats, or summers watching our industrious Russian honey bees traffic in and out of the hives, determined to fill their combs with nectar for the long winter months ahead. As an organic farm, we do not use pesticides or hormones. Each bee hive is constructed from natural materials and coated in propolis, an antimicrobial sealant made directly by the bees, instead of the paint and other toxic materials used by other producers. Persing Woods harvests only 50% of the total honey produced by each hive. We believe that bees that live on this rich, beneficial diet are healthy and rarely require human interference. Our dark, raw honey mostly contains nectar from the Japanese Bamboo plant - it's one of the most perfect foods in nature. Our velvety smooth goat milk provides nutrients and sustenance without any artificial processing. Our philosophy at Persing Woods is to promote the health and wellness of our customers, our family, our animals, and our land. We strive to nurture the good things nature has already provided for us, and we are proud to bring the fruits of our labor into your hands.
