Hometown Honey, Inc.
Home Town Honey is a Georgia producer of raw, local wildflower and sourwood honey, sold online, at farmers markets, and through retail partners in north Georgia. The operation has kept bees since 1992 and maintains bee yards on five farms in the Kennesaw–Cartersville area.
About the Producer
A little history
Home Town Honey began keeping bees in 1992 to improve pollination for a family farming effort. An American Beekeeping Federation newsletter lists Home Town Honey, Georgia, as a contributor in 2010. In 2020, local news described the Kennesaw-based business as a co-founder-level vendor of the Marietta Square Farmers Market; its 2026 vendor page shows continued sales through regional markets and retailers.
