Lewisburg — designated a National Historic Landmark District for its extraordinary collection of pre-Civil War architecture and one of West Virginia's most cultivated small cities — anchors Greenbrier County's exceptional honey landscape in the broad mountain valley of the upper Greenbrier River. Greenbrier County's honey traditions draw on the exceptional biological richness of West Virginia's most agriculturally productive mountain county. Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) from the magnificent hardwood forests flanking the Greenbrier River — a National Recreation River — provides the region's most productive spring honey flow: harvested in late May from the cove forests of the Allegheny Mountains, Greenbrier County tulip poplar honey is medium-amber with complex herbal-fruity notes that West Virginia beekeepers prize as the state's finest commercial honey. Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) from the rocky ridgetops of the Greenbrier Alleghenies provides an earlier May flow of premium light honey. Basswood from the valley's riparian forest provides a July harvest of classic minty light-amber honey. Clover from Greenbrier County's extensive cattle pastures — the county has one of West Virginia's largest cattle industries — contributes through summer. The Greenbrier Resort — one of America's most storied luxury resorts, with a Cold War-era underground congressional bunker — sits just 5 miles from Lewisburg. Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg — one of West Virginia's premier performing arts venues — is among the festival's neighboring venues. The festival at the Carnegie Hall complex celebrates Lewisburg's cultural and agricultural heritage alongside the Greenbrier Valley's exceptional honey traditions.
