Buy honey in Chatham County, North Carolina and Western North Carolina


2025 Pittsboro honey SOLD OUT

Mountain honey harvest tentatively expected in July or August.

This year’s honey from Pittsboro, North Carolina is Piedmont Blooms. Piedmont Blooms tastes like a pear crème brûlée. When spinning the frames, I felt like my head was in a cloud of honeysuckle. Highly floral aroma. It's fluid. The slight almond aftertaste inspired me to make a brunch cocktail the morning after honey harvest: Honey, splash of amaretto, coffee, and heavy cream.
​
This year’s order form also includes my inaugural offering of propolis and an option to buy a nuc of bees.

​All orders are first come, first served.
tin of propolis
Raw propolis is available for the first time.
Each year I donate to a different organization. This year I'll donate 10% of all sales to the American Farmland Trust (AFT). Our country, and North Carolina, are losing a devastating amount of farmland. This loss hits very close to home. A gorgeous 440-acre farm adjacent to our street will be turned into 1,200+ homes over the next few years. AFT helps to protect and steward farms across the country.

Want to get the honey order form 2 days before everyone else? Paid subscribers of my Substack get the honey order form 2 days early AND they get free shipping on all orders smaller than a case.

2022: I bottled the 5-year anniversary edition of Chatham Blossoms and the inaugural harvest of Nantahala Nectar. 10% of all sales were donated to the Pollinator Partnership, the largest organization in the world protecting pollinators.

What folks say about my honey

Your honey is out-of-this-world delicious! We are very privileged to have some. I can't wait to share your honey with family.
"I'm super excited to tell you that your honey is one-of-a-kind! It was super light, very aromatic, and the taste was delicious. It was almost like tasting flowers! It's a beautiful experience. I'm excited to make a few home recipes soon."
​

"Thanks for the awesome honey."
I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to get jars this year! It's truly as precious as gold to us.
"Your honey has been so delicious and I have just a small amount left - insert dramatic SIGH here. I made a honey-pistachio cheesecake that was an absolute hit with my family and have drizzled, stirred, and even put some into my coffee and tea to enjoy the beautiful flavors. I am interested in getting some sourwood honey if/when the time comes. Hoping you can get a great harvest so I can lop off my arm to give you in exchange for that rare and delicious honey!"

"This honey is SO GOOD."
I love the poems you put on the back of your honey. I love reading them. I purchased Glue-be-Gone so that I can take them off the glass when it's empty. It's very special. I'm not sure you appreciate how special they make your honey.

    I send seasonal updates to let you know how the hives are starting the year, when the honey flow starts, and when I pull honey off the hives to bottle.

Five Acres Honey Farm is a hobby farm. Due to the small production and the costly nature of managing the hives, I do not make a profit. I sell honey when possible because I enjoy offering it to people who appreciate it.
