BROWNY BEE HONEY
The Buzz About Raw Honey Unique variety, hot honey, hot sauces & more
B
What sets Browny Bee Honey apart from competitors, according to Marketing Director Tyrell Trimble, is the “insane amount of varieties we have to offer.” Browny Bee Honey is able to obtain varieties such as Vetch, Meadowfoam, Fireweed, Carrot Flower and Pumpkin Blossom by partnering with local Oregon farmers for pollination. Normally, you wouldn’t find such a large selection of honeys in a typical store, and unless someone is a true honey enthusiast they probably haven’t tried these. They also produce four different Hot Honeys in assorted flavors and heat intensities as well as various Hot Sauces. Browny Bee’s Original Hot Honey is their best-selling product and a unique item for most Northwesterners, as most people have never even heard of hot honey. Browny Bee Honey is also currently working on growing a small herd of sheep (Barbados and American Black Belly) with the intention of eventually expanding into meat sales. Browny Bee Honey owner, Mike Brown, is a Sherwood resident and has always loved
By Patti Jo Brooks, Contributing Writer & Donovan Darling, Staff Writer
rowny Bee Honey invites you to “enjoy local hive, 100% pure, raw and unfiltered honey straight from the hive of the rich and fertile forage lands of the Northwest.” Browny Bee Honey’s many unique raw honeys are produced “right in your own backyard” on a small Sherwood farm. And there are so many reasons to enjoy their honey! Honey is a healthy food full of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes and bee pollen. Consuming raw, locally-sourced honey may also alleviate your seasonal pollen allergies, since local honey contains pollen from the same ecosystem. The pollen that would typically cause symptoms during allergy season alternatively allows the body to build up an immunity against it through ingesting the local raw honey. Honey also makes a great natural sweetener that can be easily substituted for sugar in baking, tea and coffee.

honey. Perhaps this played some role in the serendipity of Browny Bee Honey’s founding. A close friend of Mike’s, a beekeeper for over 50 years, had raised and supported his family by selling raw honey and beeswax candles at the local markets. “He fascinated me,” Mike remarked. “He was always
happy, peaceful and calm.” In June 2021, Mike was ready for a change and decided, “I’m going to sell honey.” He had been helping a local farmer grow the bee population, and as a result, Mike was able to obtain plenty of raw honey for his new enterprise. Sherwood Saturday Market had also just lost their “honey guy” and Mike was happy to fill the spot. He bottled up the honey, added his own logo and Browny Bee Honey was creating a buzz. Towards the end of 2021, Hot Honey was added to the line and later picked up by New Seasons. During 2022, Browny Bee Honey expanded into approximately 160 markets. Committed to giving back to the community, Mike Brown and Browny Bee Honey have generously donated to local charities, especially Sherwood schools. Browny Bee Honey also hosts
an ongoing fundraiser for cancer awareness by selling a special edition of Vetch Honey and donating a percentage of proceeds to support individuals within the community and to further cancer research. The complete line of Browny Bee Honey’s handcrafted premium raw honeys, as well as hoodies and t-shirts, are available through their online store and seasonally at the Sherwood Saturday Market. Watch for promos and featured items, like the current sale — two for $20/three for $28 deal on five-ounce hot sauces! Their website also includes accessories, recipes and helpful tips, such as how to decrystallize honey. Please visit brownybeehoney.com to place orders.

THE HISTORY OF PUMPKIN PIE
In Pumpkin Pie We Crust Some 400 years in the ‘baking’
P
By Donovan Darling, Staff Writer
umpkin pie, is arguably more American than apple pie. But where did this spiced, crusted, orange squash custard come from? Pumpkins were first grown in Central America in 5500 B.C. and were one of the first foods brought back from the New World by European explorers. The first mention of pumpkins dates back to 1536, and they were regularly grown in England within a few years and called “pumpions,” based on the French word “pompon,” the derivation of “pompom,” which refers to a chrysanthemum or dahlia’s rounded flowers. Current data suggests pumpkin pie dates back almost 400 years. A French cookbook from 1653 has a recipe that instructs chefs to boil a pumpkin in milk, strain and place in a crust. In the 1670 edition of “Gentlewoman’s Companion,” English writer Hannah Woolley suggests a pie be filled with varied layers of apple and pumpkin, sweet marjoram, thyme and spiced rosemary. A crust, however, sounds like it was optional. One New England recipe detailed using a hollowed-out pumpkin, filling it with sweet spiced milk and cooking it right in a fire. And an English variant recipe included sliced apples. England’s pie culture is legendary, known for making complex pastries for centuries. It’s likely that the Pilgrims who sailed for America on the Mayflower in 1620 were familiar with pumpkins, both as fruit and dessert, as well as the indigenous tribe of the Wampanoag, who helped these Pilgrims survive their first year

in the Plymouth Colony. A year after their arrival, on what has become known as the first Thanksgiving, 50 colonists and 90 Wampanoag celebrated the harvest for three whole days, and pumpkins were likely part of that meal. By the 18th century, pumpkin pie was a common dish for Thanksgiving, as the holiday had become important in New England. The Connecticut town of Colchester famously postponed Thanksgiving a whole week because they lacked the molasses to make pumpkin pies. Later in 1796, Amelia Simmons’ cookbook “American Cookery” included two pumpkin pie recipes, one which is very similar to the custard version we know today. Interestingly, pumpkin pie gained political significance when abolitionists, for whom pumpkin pie was a common dish in New England, featured it in their novels and poems. Abolitionist Lydia Maria Child ended her 1842 poem about a New England Thanksgiving with the line: “Hurra for the pumpkin pie!” Abolitionist Sarah Josepha Hale rallied for decades for Thanksgiving to become a national holiday, featuring pumpkin pie in her 1827 anti-slavery novel “Northwood:” “yet the pumpkin pie occupied the most distinguished niche” ...among a table full of desserts. When Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863, many Confederates saw it as a further imposition of Yankee traditions. Following the Civil War, Thanksgiving and pumpkin pie spread across the country and were written about in many women’s magazines. Libby’s, a Chicago meat-canning company, began producing canned pumpkin in 1929, a product that became essential to every household on Thanksgiving and replaced the labor-intensive task of roasting and straining fresh pumpkin. And the rest was history. Grown for 7,500 years and baked for nearly 400 years, pumpkin pie has come a long way to arrive in cans on pantry shelves and in grocery store bakeries. When enjoying a delicious slice of pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving, consider its long and winding history and the countless individuals who had a hand in its creation: French and English pastry chefs, early colonists, the Indigenous, magazine editors, housewives, abolitionists and even Abraham Lincoln.

HISTORY
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME
Falling Back Through Time The origins of daylight saving time By Robert Matsumura, Contributing Writer
S
pring forward, fall back is a saying many of us are familiar with as a reminder to move the clocks forward one hour in the springtime, and back one hour in the fall. Despite your feelings about the subject — for or against the mandated biannual time change — have you ever wondered how daylight saving came about in the first place? Benjamin Franklin is frequently cited as the original proponent of the daylight saving concept when, as the American envoy to France, he satirically proposed in a letter to the “Journal of Paris” that Parisians could save money on candles by waking up earlier, thereby more effectively utilizing natural light. While Franklin’s letter may be the earliest recorded evidence of the concept, others proposed the same idea, but for different reasons. New Zealander George Hudson, an entomologist, proposed in 1895 that the clock be forwarded by two hours in order to provide additional daylight to pursue his study of insects during the summer. In 1902, an Englishman by the name of William Willett — who incidentally was the great-great-grandfather of Chris Martin of the band Coldplay — was struck with the daylight saving notion while out riding his horse. Willett went so far as to propose the concept to Parliament as a way for Great Britain to more efficiently utilize daylight. Despite the support of such luminaries as Winston Churchill and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the idea never gained sufficient traction in Parliament for passage into law. It wasn’t until World War I that a nation actually passed the concept of daylight saving into law. Germany, desperate to

conserve energy during wartime, was familiar with Willett’s efforts in Britain regarding the subject. Unlike the British who rejected the concept, the Germans wasted no time implementing the policy of daylight saving into law. Sadly, Willett, who had championed the daylight saving concept till his death in 1915, never lived to see it put into effect. He likely would have felt vindicated when almost every country that fought in World War I — including England — implemented daylight saving as national policy in the years that followed. In step with its European counterparts, the United States, in 1916, also enacted legislation to conserve energy via daylight savings. Along with daylight savings, Congress also enacted the Standard Time Act which split the nation up into different time
during the Bush Administration during 2005. These changes, in effect today, extended daylight saving time from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Even though daylight saving time was a federal mandate, it did still permit individual states to opt out by passage of state laws. Two states that have opted out are Hawaii and Arizona. The state of Hawaii chose to disregard daylight saving time altogether due to an abundance of

zones. During an era when U.S. energy consumption was highly dependent on coal, the policy was indeed an effective measure to conserve the precious resource during wartime. At the end of the war, however, the daylight saving time part of the act was repealed. In February 1942, with the advent of World War II, Congress again reinstated daylight saving time in an effort to conserve fuel and aid with national security and defense. In fact, daylight saving time was commonly referred to as “War Time,” with the time zones referred to as Eastern War Time, Pacific War Time and such. Once again, at the war’s end the law was repealed, but this time it was left up to the individual states to determine their own standard time. No rules were stipulated regarding daylight saving time, however, which for the next two decades was problematic for both the broadcast media and transportation industries, as one might imagine. It wasn’t until 1966 that Congress passed the Uniform Time Act which established both a national standard time and set daylight saving time to be in effect from the last Sunday in April to the last Sunday in October. A few changes to the law were enacted

daylight. In Arizona, where summers are blazing hot with temperatures frequently in the 100s, residents value the cool nighttime hours over daylight as it affords them more time outdoors. Complicating things further in Arizona, the Navajo nation, unlike the rest of the state, has chosen to abide by daylight saving time. The Hopi nation, on the other hand, which happens to be completely surrounded by the Navajo nation, has chosen, like the rest of the state, to ignore it. So, should you be traveling through northeastern Arizona, where the Navajo and Hopi nations reside, you might find it a bit perplexing trying to establish the time of day. On the other side of the spectrum, politicians from Florida have proposed the Sunshine Protection Act which effectively would make daylight saving time the
official time for the state, thereby doing away with standard time altogether. However, in order for this act to be formally enacted as a law, congressional approval is required on a federal level. As of 2022, the Senate has voted to support the new legislation, but the House of Representatives has yet to sign off on it. Should the legislation be approved by both the Senate and the House, it will then proceed to President Biden for his signature. As to whether the president would support the act is still undetermined. Some critics of daylight saving time cite studies that suggest the transition back from daylight saving time is connected with a higher risk of heart attack and an uptick in automobile accident fatalities. David Prerau, the author of “Seize the Daylight: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time,” explains that these cited effects are likely the result of sleep deprivation and interruptions in circadian rhythms. However, such conditions are of a short term nature and in his opinion, don’t outweigh the benefits of extra daylight. As to the future of both standard and daylight saving time, the outcome is yet to be determined. One thing is certain, though, the next time you go to change your clock, remember that daylight saving time wasn’t just Ben Franklin’s idea, but also that of a New Zealand entomologist, Chris Martin’s great grandpa, and wartime energy conservation policies. Whether you’re for or against this biannual event, know that you’re not alone — no matter which side of the equation you fall on. READ MORE AT CITYHANDSHAKE.COM 27
