one of portland's best kept secrets...

you know those things that make you absolutely love where you live? not like the weather or the distance to the mountains, but the little things.

like the people you always ride by on your way to work. or the mexican store across the street where the ladies know you by name because you're in there so much. i could go on and on.

for me, there are so many things like that here in portland, more particularly in SE portland. and one of those is BARLEAN's HONEY.

luke's sister leah stumbled upon this and now i want to pass it onto you. for $10.50, you can get a quart (pictured here) of local, raw delicious honey from bees that either enjoy the flowers right in their neighborhood or the wildflowers up in sandy by mt hood or the blackberry bushes along the springwater. that price is unreal! just today at the farmer's market, i saw another local vendor selling a quart for $18.

the best part of their honey is that it is sold at their house. there is a cabinet in front, kept unlocked. you get to pick your honey and just drop the money in a slot in their garage. i love their faith in humanity. :)

i won't buy honey anywhere else. and once you experience the "honey house", i guarantee you won't either!

what's one of those little things that you LOVE about where you live?
