North Carolina honey

All honey produced by Five Acres Honey Farm is minimally-filtered and bottled raw. After extraction in a hand-cranked stainless-steel extractor, the honey settles for 2 days in food-grade BPA-free buckets, and then immediately bottled in glass.

​Since hive health is the #1 priority here, honey is extracted once per year and only from hives that produced a surplus. As a small-batch producer, Five Acres Honey Farm hand-pours and labels every jar. With such a small inventory, it’s not viable to maintain an online store. Learn where to buy honey and how to reserve honey from a future harvest for yourself, referral gifts, or in your own store.
