Treasure State Honey

Treasure State Honey is a small family-owned apiary in Fort Shaw, Montana, in Cascade County. The company sells raw, unfiltered Montana honey from the Sun River Valley and central Montana foothills, where bees work sweet clover, alfalfa, and wildflowers. It also handles pollination work and sells honey in sizes that range from small jars to bulk containers.

The clean case here is less about novelty and more about control. Treasure State says it produces, jars, and sells only honey its own bees make. It is not buying bulk honey on the open market, blending it, and putting a Montana label on the jar. That matters in honey, a category with plenty of opaque sourcing and overprocessed supermarket options.

Their processing standard is simple: the honey is not heated above hive temperature, filtered, or otherwise polished into a shelf-perfect product. Raw honey crystallizes. It changes texture. It looks less uniform than pasteurized honey. That is usually a feature, not a flaw, when you know where the honey came from.

Ownership is publicly supported by multiple sources. Abundant Montana describes Treasure State Honey as a family-owned beekeeping business run by Jim Savoy and his daughter, Shelby Murray. The National Honey Board lists Treasure State Honey LLC in Fort Shaw and calls it a small family-owned apiary. The company’s own about page backs up the hive-to-jar model and shows Jim Savoy in its product imagery. We found no corporate parent, acquisition notice, private-equity link, or exclusion-list match.

Treasure State Honey also has a serious quality signal: a 2019 Apimondia gold medal in liquid honey and bronze in comb honey. Awards are not the reason to buy it, but they do suggest the product has been judged outside the brand’s own marketing. For shoppers who want a Montana raw honey source with real people attached, this is a strong pick.
