Bee Squared Honey
A long-time supporter of bees and organic beekeeping, and of Harlequin’s Gardens, Beth Conrey has served for decades with local beekeeping organizations and is currently President of the CO State Beekeepers Association. Starting small, her beekeeping passion grew exponentially and she now tends hives in many locations in Boulder, Larimer and Adams counties and produces some of the finest raw, unfiltered, chemical-free honey on the Front Range.
We are delighted to be offering many of Bee Squared’s unique and delicious award-winning infused honeys, including Spiced Rum Barrel Aged honey, Whiskey Barrel Aged honey, Rose-infused honey, Fennel Pollen-infused honey, Vanilla & Saffron-infused honey, and their superb Alfalfa & Wildflower honey and Clover honey. These products are available in several sizes and combination sets.
Cultura Chocolate
A Denver-based, micro-batch, bean-to-bar, award-winning artisan chocolate, Cultura is produced in Denver and Latina woman-owned. They use only beans from ethically sourced and organic cacao farms in Latin America, which they hand sort, crack, roast, winnow, grind, conche, temper and mold to bring out the richest aromas and flavors and the smoothest textures. We believe this is the very best chocolate produced in Colorado.
We are offering their superlative chocolate bars from several single-origin sources, their innovative mixed flavor bars, as well as their delicious Mexican style Sipping Chocolate, and Café de Olla, a delicious traditional spiced Mexican coffee/chocolate brew.
Engrid’s Haystack Gardens Fruit Preserves – Harlequin’s Exclusive!
Many of you remember our long-time staffer Engrid Winslow, who creates jams and jellies that make you close your eyes and sigh with pleasure. She uses fresh fruit, (local and organic whenever possible) and very little sugar, so the fruit flavors shine. She makes the classics as well as many delicious originals, like Pear with Vanilla Bean, and Blueberry Lemonade, to name just a couple.
You’ll find delicious uses for Engrid’s preserves, in breakfasts, hors d’oeuvres, salad dressings, glazes, and desserts. This year Engrid is also offering one-of-a-kind knitted socks!
