When choosing local, you are consuming honey produced by bees in or near the environment you live. This is beneficial as they contain the immune-stimulating properties needed for your body to adapt to its environment. You can still benefit from RAW Unfiltered Honey outside of your Local area. RAW Honey is preferred as its nutritional value is otherwise influenced by commercial and industrial processes, such as filtration, and added sugars such as corn syrup.

Filtered or refined honey does not contain the potent properties of RAW honey. Honey contains pollen grains and other organic materials that are beneficial to the body. When these are lost through filtering, tthe honey loses some of its health benefits.  A simple way to tell if honey is RAW is if it is prone to crystallization. RAW honey will crystallize while refined, processed honey will remains in a liquid state for an extended period.
