Where can I find raw honey near Charleston, South Carolina?

The City of Charleston's farmers markets list honey among the pantry foods sold there. The city page does not name the vendor selling it, so a specific beekeeper is unverified.

What honey varieties come from around Charleston?

Unverified at city scale. Clemson Extension says South Carolina's primary nectar flows occur in spring and fall and names gallberry below the fall line, which makes gallberry, tupelo and palmetto regional lowcountry context rather than a proven Charleston honey.

Find Local Honey in Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston's own farmers-market page lists honey as one of the pantry foods sold there, and Clemson Extension describes when South Carolina's nectar flows run and which plants supply them below the fall line. Neither page names a Charleston beekeeper, and this guide does not invent one.

Local Honey Varieties

No Charleston floral variety is verified. South Carolina's primary nectar flows occur in spring and fall statewide, and Clemson names gallberry below the fall line, so gallberry, tupelo and palmetto are regional lowcountry nectar sources rather than honeys proven from Charleston hives. Sourwood sits above the fall line and is not a Charleston product claim.

Where to Buy

Charleston farmers markets. The city's farmers-market page lists small-batch jams, honey, hot sauces and pantry staples from Lowcountry kitchens, and prints the market dates for 2026 including a Wednesday West Ashley span running to October 14, 2026 and a November 21, 2026 date. The page does not name the honey vendor.

How We Checked This Page

Checked on 2026-10-07 against the City of Charleston farmers-market page and Clemson Extension's apiculture land-use and forages page. The city page puts honey in a product list, not against a vendor name, so no vendor is named here.

Before You Go

Ask at the market which vendor is selling honey that week, because the city page lists the product without naming the seller. An individual vendor's attendance is not published.
