Santa Cruz — the Santa Cruz County city at the foot of the Santa Cruz Mountains where the coastal redwood forest, chaparral, and Central Coast Mediterranean shrubland create one of California's most botanically diverse honey landscapes, with exceptional sources including California buckeye, manzanita, madrone, coffeeberry, native wildflower, berry blossom, eucalyptus, star thistle, and the rare coastal wildflower of the Año Nuevo State Park and Big Basin Redwoods ecosystem — all contributing to honey varietals that rank among California's most distinctive and sought after in the growing artisan honey movement — is home to a creative beekeeping community that bridges coastal agriculture, university research at UC Santa Cruz, and the Monterey Bay region's thriving farm-to-table food culture. This June festival at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium celebrates Santa Cruz County's remarkable honey heritage through producers from across the Santa Cruz Mountains, Monterey Bay area, and Santa Clara Valley foothills, competitive honey shows featuring California's coastal redwood-zone mono-varietal and wildflower blends, guided tastings pairing local honey with Santa Cruz County's world-class artisan cheese, sourdough, and coastal wines, and demonstrations connecting the ecological diversity of the Santa Cruz Mountains UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with the complexity of its extraordinary local honeys.
