About Wild Antho

Wild Antho is a third-generation family apiary in Armstrong, run by beekeeper Emily Huxter.

The operation raises nucleus colonies and breeds queen bees selected for Canadian conditions, and provides spring pollination to farms across the Okanagan.

Raw unpasteurized honey is what comes through the shop. Many of the bee yards sit on organic farms across the Okanagan and Shuswap, so the honey carries the flavour of the ground it was gathered from, though the apiary itself is not certified.

Why we work with them

Emily Huxter is the third generation on this apiary and breeds queens suited to Canadian conditions, which is skilled, patient work.

Many of her bee yards sit on organic farms around the Okanagan and Shuswap, several of which we also buy from. Her bees pollinate the region's crops, so this honey is quite literally made from the food system we are all part of.
