About Local Honey Map
The largest local honey directory in the United States, connecting honey buyers with beekeepers, honey farms, and raw honey producers across all 50 states.
Why We Built Local Honey Map
Most of the honey sold in American grocery stores is imported, blended from multiple countries, ultra-filtered to remove pollen, and sometimes adulterated with cheaper syrups. According to USDA data, the United States imports roughly 80% of the honey it consumes.
Meanwhile, thousands of local beekeepers produce raw, traceable honey in small batches. Honey that tastes better, supports local agriculture, and keeps pollinator populations healthy. The problem was discovery.
A beekeeper in rural Tennessee with exceptional sourwood honey had no easy way to reach the people looking for exactly what they produce. Farmers markets helped, but only reached customers within driving distance on Saturday mornings.
Local Honey Map exists to close that gap. Over 15,000 beekeepers, honey farms, apiaries, and shops listed across all 50 states, with seller location, honey types, purchase channels, customer reviews, and visit availability. Make it as easy to find local honey as it is to find a restaurant.
How Local Honey Map Started
From a kitchen table obsession with local honey to a directory covering every state in the country.
Local Honey Map started with a jar of buckwheat honey from a farmers market in upstate New York. It was dark, malty, and tasted nothing like the generic squeeze bear in the pantry. That single jar opened up a world of varietal honeys, local beekeepers, and the realization that most people have no idea how different real honey tastes.
We started keeping a personal list of honey sellers, first in our own state, then nationally. We talked to beekeepers at markets, visited apiaries, and learned how honey goes from hive to jar. There was no comprehensive directory of local honey producers in the US. Nothing treated local honey as a category worth its own dedicated search experience.
So we built one. We researched and enriched data on thousands of honey sellers: seller type, honey varietals, whether the producer sells raw or filtered honey, farm visit availability, and purchasing options. Every listing has real depth, not just a name and an address.
What Local Honey Map Stands For
Three principles that guide every decision we make.
Every feature, every listing, and every piece of content on Local Honey Map is built around three commitments. These are not marketing slogans. They are the operating principles behind the directory.
Beekeepers are the backbone of local honey production and a critical part of agricultural pollination. In the US, managed honey bee colonies pollinate roughly $15 billion worth of crops annually.
We do not sell honey ourselves. We do not take a cut of transactions. We connect buyers with local beekeepers and get out of the way.

Honest, Verified Information
Seller type, honey varietals, raw and unfiltered status, purchase channels, and customer reviews, all from verified data rather than seller-written copy.

Supporting Beekeepers and Bee Health
When you buy local honey, you directly support the beekeepers who maintain colonies that pollinate $15 billion in US crops each year.
