Golden Essence Raw Honey comes from a Black-owned apiary right here in Indianapolis.
Local Black beekeeper Ciara Nicole Brown created Golden Essence Raw Honey in 2023 out of a simple love for honey and deep respect for nature, according to her website. Brown specializes in small-batch, raw, unfiltered honey that comes from her own hives.
“What started as a spark has grown into a thriving beekeeping venture dedicated to bringing you honey that is as authentic as the bees that create it,” the website states. “At Golden Essence, honey isn’t just a product — it’s a story of dedication, craftsmanship, and love for the environment. When you choose our honey, you’re choosing quality, authenticity, and a commitment to preserving the beauty of nature.”

Customers can shop the website or find Golden Essence Raw Honey at pop-up events and vendor markets around Indianapolis. The business features 8oz and 12oz bottles of pure, unfiltered honey.
