I eat so much honey. I feel that if I stop eating as much as I do I would probably lose about 15lbs. Lol.

Forget it. I'll just stay chunky. Hahaha

We buy fresh raw honey from a bee keeper not far from here he charges 12$ for a quart jar full. I think thas a good price for fresh local honey. We sometimes trade him too. He will take fish or other canned goodies in trade.

If you have a farmers market it'll definitely be there

The Garden Show at the coliseum this weekend should have some too. Baby's Local Honey will be there, I think they have a store by the courthouse too.

You can get it at that Charleston Farmers Market on Bilbo St. every Saturday morning. It seems like I've seen local honey at some of the feed stores too.

^^^^This... Don't buy a huge jar unless you plan on using ALOT of it. I put some in a smoothie 3-4 times a week and the big jars still crystalize.

Put the jars in a pot of water and heat to 180 F and it will fix your crystallization problem.

I went home last night. Grilled some pork chops with green beans and cathead biscuits with honey. Take my word for it---- It was delicious.. No pics because dinner was gone before it hit the plate.
