Honey Market · September 6–7, 2030 · Scranton, Pennsylvania
Scranton — the Electric City and former anthracite coal capital in Lackawanna County on the Lackawanna River in the Pocono Mountain region of northeastern Pennsylvania — is surrounded by a mosaic of second-growth hardwood forest, mountain laurel thickets, buckwheat farmland, and reclaimed mine land wildflower meadows that have made the Wyoming Valley and Endless Mountains a surprisingly productive beekeeping territory for basswood, black locust, buckwheat, and mountain wildflower honey. This September market at Courthouse Square celebrates Lackawanna County's beekeeping heritage alongside the region's industrial and immigrant cultural history, featuring honey from Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Wayne County producers, historical presentations on how immigrant communities from Poland, Italy, and Ukraine brought European beekeeping traditions to the anthracite coal region, and guided tours of the Lackawanna Coal Mine pollinator restoration project. The event draws visitors from across the Poconos region and connects the region's post-industrial landscape to its surprising agricultural vitality.
