🧸COMING SOON! 🧸 California Chaparral Grizzly Mugs

This mug was designed to honor the history of bears in California, and to pay homage to the chaparral grizzly.

In the early to mid-1800s, the hills surrounding Lake Hughes and Elizabeth Lake were home to a booming population of California grizzly bears (Ursus arctos californicus). The lakes served as key watering holes, making it nearly impossible for local ranchers to successfully raise livestock. Due to hunting, poisoning, and increasing habitat pressure, grizzlies were ultimately driven to extinction in California, with the last confirmed sighting recorded in 1924.

The “chaparral grizzly” later became the central symbol on the California state flag. Today, the only bears commonly seen in the region are smaller, more reclusive American black bears, still inhabiting the surrounding mountains.

• Ceramic
• 11 oz mug dimensions: 3.79″ (9.6 cm) in height, 3.25″ (8.3 cm) in diameter
• Red rim, inside, and handle accent color.

LIMITED STOCK 🍊 Orange Blossom is BACK! 🍯 And Wildflower & Buckwheat Honey is ALMOST SOLD OUT 🐝

We're so excited to be the exclusive distributor of Petra's 🏆 Award-winning Honey's.

🍊 Orange Blossom 🍊
Orange Blossom Raw Honey captures the delicate citrus aroma of orange groves in every golden spoonful, offering a naturally sweet alternative to refined sugar. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, it retains its natural enzymes and pollen for a truly authentic taste experience straight from the hive.

🍯 Wildflower & Buckwheat 🍯
❀ Buckwheat honey is a dark-amber, robust honey with a strong, malty, molasses-like flavor, known for its high antioxidant levels and use as a natural cough suppressant. It's less sweet than typical honey and is used in baking, marinades, and as a glaze, but its bold taste also makes it great for mixing into coffee or oatmeal.

Petra's Bees 🐝 brings pure, delicious honey straight from her hives distributed across farms and properties throughout the Lakes & Valley's region. Carefully tended and lovingly produced, each jar is a true taste of the valley!

✨ LIMITED STOCK! ✨ Stop by the Outpost this weekend and pick up a jar before it sells out!
