Our Honey
The flavour and colour of honey varies depending on the flowers the bees have visited. Kent's diverse landscape means our honey can range from light and delicate to rich and robust.
Common varieties from our area include spring blossom honey, summer wildflower honey, and late-season ivy honey. Each has its own unique character and taste.
How to Buy Local Honey
Many of our members sell honey directly to the public. Honey is typically available from late summer through to the following spring, depending on the harvest.

Honey at Our Events
You can also purchase honey at our events throughout the year, including:

Storing Your Honey
Honey will keep indefinitely if stored properly. Keep it in a sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
If your honey crystallizes (becomes solid), this is completely natural. Simply place the jar in warm water and the honey will return to its liquid state.
