McClure's Orchard/Winery

Local Honey Seller in Peru, Indiana · Raw Honey

McClure's Orchard/Winery

In Peru, Indiana, the apple barn gift shop at McClure's Orchard and Winery is where honeycomb samples and honey suckers sit beside apples and seasonal gifts. The farm presses juice from onsite apples for ciders, and their dry ciders get high marks, especially a Scotchy Scotch finish aged in Laphroig barrels. Beyond honey, comb honey is sold in the shop, a small but mighty sweet bite to grab on your way out. The farm is more than honey, too—a full family day with apple and pumpkin picking, a corn maze, animals, and a little playground, plus baked goods from the on-site market. You can buy everything right in the on-site retail store before you head home. Guests rave about the friendly staff and the family-friendly vibe that makes kids and grown-ups smile. If you want a real Indiana farm day with honey treats, this Peru stop sticks with you long after the cider runs dry.

  • The apple barn gift shop features honey products such as honeycomb samples and honey suckers alongside apples and gifts.
  • Visitors frequently note honey candies as a highlight during their farm visits.
  • The honey offerings are part of a broader farm experience that includes cider, baked goods, and seasonal activities.

About the Seller

About This Seller

Not every place that sells honey is the same. A backyard beekeeper managing a handful of hives produces a very different product than a grocery store stocking mass-market brands. Knowing the seller type helps you understand how close you are to the source. The closer you are, the fresher and more traceable the honey.

Processing

Raw & Unfiltered Status

How honey is processed after harvest makes a significant difference in what ends up in the jar. Raw honey preserves the enzymes, pollen, and antioxidants that heat destroys. Unfiltered honey retains the fine particles of beeswax, propolis, and pollen that commercial filtering removes. Crystallization is actually a sign of raw, minimally processed honey, not a flaw.

We don't have confirmed information about whether McClure's Orchard/Winery sells raw or filtered honey. If the processing method matters to you, it's worth asking the seller directly. Most beekeepers and honey producers are happy to explain how they handle their harvest.

Varietals

Honey Varietals

Honey takes on the flavor, color, and aroma of whatever flowers the bees are foraging. A jar of pale, mild clover honey tastes nothing like dark, earthy buckwheat, even if both come from hives in the same county. Seasonal and regional variation is part of what makes local honey worth seeking out. No two batches are exactly alike.

Specific honey varietals for McClure's Orchard/Winery haven't been confirmed. Many local sellers in Indiana offer wildflower blends that reflect the seasonal bloom in their area. Contacting the seller is the best way to find out what's currently available.

Health

Local Honey & Allergies

One of the most common reasons people seek out local honey is the belief that it can help with seasonal allergies. Bees collect pollen from nearby plants, trace amounts end up in the honey, and regularly eating that honey may help your body build tolerance over time. For those interested in trying it, raw and unfiltered honey is preferred, since commercial processing removes most pollen content.

No reviewers have mentioned purchasing McClure's Orchard/Winery honey specifically for allergy reasons. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be suitable. If local pollen content matters to you, ask the seller about where their hives are located and how their honey is processed.

Visit

Can You Visit?

There's something about visiting a local honey producer in person that no online listing can replicate. Seeing the hives, meeting the beekeeper, tasting different varietals side by side - it gives you a connection to the product that a grocery shelf never will. Many farms and apiaries welcome visitors, offer tastings, and sell directly on-site, often at better prices than retail.

Open to visitors

McClure's Orchard/Winery welcomes visitors to their location in Peru, Indiana. Whether you're stopping by their farm stand, touring the apiary, or simply picking up a jar, visiting in person is the best way to experience what they offer and ask the beekeeper your questions directly.

Purchasing

Where to Buy

Finding where to actually purchase local honey can be the hardest part of the process. Many producers sell through limited channels like weekend farmers markets, seasonal farm stands, or small online shops that may sell out between harvests. Direct purchases from the beekeeper, whether at a market, farm stand, or their own website, typically offer the freshest product.

Retail Store

McClure's Orchard/Winery sells through Retail Store.
