Tuskegee Honey LLC – Grower of Fresh Alabama-Grown Hibiscus sabdariffa (Roselle)
Not a Honey Product

At Tuskegee Honey LLC, we're proud to introduce a specialty crop that’s as vibrant as it is versatile—Hibiscus sabdariffa, also known as Roselle. Grown with care on our pollinator-safe farm in Tuskegee, Alabama, we have over 600 plants this year. Our Roselle is cultivated without synthetic inputs, making it a natural choice for chefs, tea brewers, herbalists, and home cooks seeking fresh, locally grown ingredients.

Crop Contingency (Refund) Policy

Hibiscus is a seasonal crop and subject to weather and growing conditions.

If the hibiscus crop is significantly reduced or unavailable, CSA members may choose either:

• A full refund, OR
• To apply their payment toward next year’s hibiscus CSA

While crop failure is unlikely based on past seasons, this policy ensures fairness for all participants.
