About Us
Clermont, Florida — 2015
It Started With a Table by the Trail
Honey Feast started in 2015 with a simple table beside the Lake Minneola trail in Clermont, Florida. We brought a few varieties of honey in little bear bottles, sold about $300 that first day, and kept going.
We then began keeping bees and growing by selling honey at local festivals, and to local hotels. We did not have any land at the time and some of the local hotels allowed us to keep bees on their properties.
Growing Across Florida
Built One Store at a Time
Honey Feast began making its own wooden racks and store displays and delivering honey throughout Florida to independent grocery stores, specialty food markets, and gift shops.
We built the business the old-fashioned way — building the displays ourselves, stocking our own shelves, and running a weekly delivery route. Our patented in-store tasting system became a big hit, bringing some of the farmers-market experience directly into the stores.
Beekeeping
Small Batch Beekeeper Honey
As a family owned business we work bees and handle honey in small batches, and bottle it on our own farm with a hands-on approach that has shaped the business from the beginning.
In 2022, we acquired Elliott Curtis & Sons, a Florida beekeeping operation with roots dating back to 1936. The acquisition expanded our hive count and gave Honey Feast access to additional apiary locations across Florida, broadening the areas where our honey is produced.
We believe great honey starts with the work behind it — real bees, real beekeepers, and attention to detail in every batch.
How We Handle Honey
Bottled With Care
We lightly strain our honey, cold pack it at room temperature, and bottle it in small, variety-specific batches.
Our jars are placed for filling by hand, capped by hand, and packed into cases by hand. We take our time with the process because we believe the difference should show up where it matters most: in the flavor.
The Farm Today
A Working Farm in Clermont
Today Honey Feast operates from our 15-acre farm in Clermont, Florida. The property brings together our honey operation, bee yards, production space, orchards, and the new farm stand where customers can buy honey and pick up online orders directly from us.
We grow peaches on the farm and open for U-Pick each spring, usually in late April and early May. We also continue developing the farm around organic growing principles, learning from the difficult seasons as much as the good ones.
The farm stand is the newest chapter: a place where customers can see more of the operation and shop the honey in person.
