Welcome to Carabo Farms!
We are fifth generation farmers on our small family farm in Blenheim, South Carolina.
At Carabo Farms, we are committed to the health and well-being of pollinators. Our focus goes beyond honey and beeswax products. We’re on a mission to create holistic and sustainable farming practices and to teach others to do the same.
Did you know that most of the food and household products we purchase today are wreaking havoc on our health?
From food and cosmetics, to household cleaners and candles, most people are unaware of the harmful ingredients in our everyday products. Many assume that if it was not safe, they would not sell it. Unfortunately, that is not the case and while Europe has banned over 1300 of these toxic chemicals, the United States has only banned eight.
Todays soaps, skincare and beauty products contain dangerous ingredients like Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS), Formaldehyde, Dioxane, Diethanolamine (DEA), Parabens, PEG-6, artificial fragrances and more. Our skin is our largest and most permeable organ, with over two million holes stretching across it. When we eat food, our bodies have the opportunity to filter out the things that do not belong. Unfortunately, our skin does not have the same filtration system. This is why it is so important for us to know what we are putting on our skin.
Most candles on the market today are also made with harmful ingredients that release highly toxic carcinogens into the air.
These toxins can negatively effect our health overtime. While these candles may smell good, they are not actually deodorizing your space but simply masking the smell. Unlike most modern candles, beeswax candles act as an air purifier, releasing negative ions. These negative ions work to clear the air of pollen, dust, dirt and other pollutants. Because of this, many people find their allergy, asthma and hay fever symptoms greatly reduced after making the switch to pure beeswax candles.
Unfortunately for us, most food sold in grocery store today is not any better.
The majority of honey you see at your grocery store has gone through an ultrafiltration process, removing all beneficial nutrients. Some have even been tested and found to be watered down with corn syrup and contain harmful antibiotics.
Our honey is as close as you can get to being right out of the hive. Unlike most store bought honey, our honey is raw, unfiltered and unpasteurized. Pasteurizing the honey at high temperatures changes the molecular makeup of the honey and filtering removes all of the beneficial ingredients raw honey provides. Our honey is run through a screen to remove wax and any other debris you would not want to consume. We leave all the good stuff.
It is our passion to make others aware of how these seemingly innocent products could be detrimental to their health. We want to provide you with the resources needed to cultivate a more simple and natural lifestyle.
When you make a purchase from us, please know you will be receiving high quality, all natural and sustainably sourced products from our farm.
