Also called beekeeper’s honey, raw honey, or pure honey, local honey is less processed and filtered -- creating a product that maintains its vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that tastes great and is good for you.
Even better: Living in the central NC region means we have an abundance of options for buying local honey -- and none of them are the grocery store. Our area has a few "high-hobby, borderline commercial volume" beekeepers," says Charles Fleming, president of the Harnett County Beekeepers' Association.
But, note: Locally grown honey is somewhat seasonal and it’s a fast seller. Get it while the getting's good, Fleming says. Honey season is approaching

Have we missed a local honey hot spot? Send it in so that we can add it to the list.
Thanks for the reminder and guide to honey !
My husband used to "keep" bees and we always had honey.
Forgotten how much I miss it and do not like store bought honey.
Walked up to Carolina Artists Colony and they have a good selection.
