Oneroot Honey

Oneroot Honey, raw single-origin honey from the Canadian Boreal Forest

Oneroot Honey is a Canadian family beekeeping operation that produces raw, unfiltered honey from its own hives located in the Boreal Forest, far from farms and cities. The company presents itself as a 100% Canadian operation and markets its honey on the principle of single origin: every jar comes from a single annual harvest, with no blending with honeys from other origins.

The company claims to be the number one raw honey brand on Amazon Canada and to have been picked up by Whole Foods one year after its founding in 2015. Its story goes back to a father who taught himself beekeeping in Korea in the 1970s; the family emigrated to Canada in 1995 and restarted the activity, giving rise to Oneroot in 2015.

Honey range

The main range revolves around three raw honeys, each available in 500 g, 1 kg, 3 kg and a 15 kg bulk pail:

• Boreal Forest Wildflower: natural raw honey, creamy and smooth, with delicate floral notes. Available in 500 g (CAD 16.50), 1 kg, 3 kg (CAD 66.00) and 15 kg.
• Buckwheat: a dark, intense honey with notes of malt and molasses, presented as an alternative to manuka honey and with the highest antioxidant levels on the market according to the company. Available in 500 g (CAD 22.00), 1 kg, 3 kg (CAD 85.99) and 15 kg.
• Organic Wildflower: certified organic honey, light and velvety, from organic wildflowers in Alberta. Available in 300 g (CAD 17.00), 500 g and 15 kg.

The company also sells honeys infused with cinnamon, cacao, ginseng or chilli, and offers a subscription system with a 12% discount per order and recurring delivery, cancellable at any time.

Beyond honey

Alongside honey, Oneroot sells other products linked to the same operation or to like-minded producers:

• Health and beauty: balms, a face mask and bee pollen.
• Single-origin organic maple syrup, from a family farm in Ontario.
• Buckwheat in the form of porridge, kasha and flour, grown in the same fields as the dark honey.
• Gabé Coffee, single-origin Brazilian beans roasted in small batches in Toronto.
• Canadian beeswax candles made in Ontario.
• Organic raw shelled hemp seeds.
• Maple mead fermented from their own honey.

Quality control and traceability

The company submits every harvest to independent laboratory testing and publishes the certificates of analysis (COA). According to the information provided, the results are non-detected for antibiotics, pesticides and glyphosate, and the HMF level remains below 7 mg/kg, which the company presents as proof that the honey has never been heated. The honey is described as raw, unheated and unfiltered, with no use of antibiotics in the hives and from pesticide-free fields.

Compared with supermarket honey, which is often blended with honeys from several countries and subjected to heating and filtering, Oneroot insists on full traceability: one family, one forest and a single annual harvest, with the possibility of tracing the product back to the specific fields and bees.

Shipping and international presence

The company operates from Canada and ships to the United States from its own warehouse in Utah, with free shipping on orders over USD 50 in that country. For Canada, shipping is free on orders over CAD 75. Orders are prepared with protective packaging: glass jars are wrapped in an air bag to prevent breakage. The website is available in English, Korean and French, and shows shipping to Canada, the United States, Japan, Korea and other international regions.

The company reports an average rating of 4.9 stars based on 2,884 customer reviews.
