Chris Hagwood Beekeeper
Garner, North Carolina is where you’ll meet Sourwood honey with a bite of honeyed hillside, and the Wildflower that tastes like a stroll through a late-summer meadow. Chris Hagwood keeps it unfiltered, straight from his hives, offering raw, unadulterated honey in two telling varietals. The Sourwood is the neighborhood treasure, bright, clean, and unmistakably local, while the Wildflower offers a gentler floral sweetness that still carries a clean finish. Beyond jars, there are beeswax candles that capture the same countryside scent. You buy it at a roadside, self-serve stand at the end of the driveway in Garner. It’s an easy, friendly spot, often open around the clock on the honor system, with a ring camera if you need help. Locals rally around this small, hands-on producer who even sells queen bees when the season calls for it. This is a true Garner find, uncomplicated, delicious honey from a beekeeper you can trust.
