Welcome to Our Home

Our late founder, Ishai Zeldner, always wanted a place to host people from all over the world, and blow their minds around the vast array of flavors, colors and textures of varietal honey. Now you can experience the fruits of our labor, from a family business that has been through it all over the last 42 years, and counting.

Our Zero Waste Initiative

At Z Specialty Food, we are committed to preserving our environment and keeping our pollinators healthy and happy. We heavily repurpose many of our materials used for production and have invested in a sustainable facility.
The HIVE is a 20,000 sq. ft. Zero Net Energy facility
  • Minimal lighting requirements
  • Highly efficient appliances and systems
  • Solar Radiant Heated Warming Room!
  • Natural daylight features throughout the facility
  • Orientation of the building to maximize heat/energy efficiency

2 acre drought tolerant pollinator habitat

  • 100% Organic: Zero use of chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides
  • Plants selected for Drought Tolerance
  • Overall Design with long-term pollinator habitat in mind
  • Community involvement will assist in maintenance and future garden art

The Hive resembles an upscale wine tasting room, with a rustic wood-clad bar where visitors stand while an employee behind the bar offers honey samples. Each honey is surprisingly unique, with its own distinct color, aroma and flavor profile.
