Find Local Honey in Portland, Maine

Portland, Maine has one honey shop that publishes both an address and its own hours: The Honey Exchange at 494 Stevens Avenue, which says it carries local and varietal honey. This page covers where to buy it, when the shop is open, and which details would still be needed before anyone could name a Portland floral type.

Local Honey Varieties

The shop describes its stock as local and varietal honey. Varietal is the shop's word for a single-source style, not a botanical name, so no specific flower is claimed here. Portland's own bloom calendar is unverified on the pages we checked, and the honey page names no individual floral source.

Where to Buy

The Honey Exchange, 494 Stevens Avenue, Portland, ME 04103. The shop lists Tuesday to Saturday 10:00am to 6:00pm, Sunday 10:00am to 2:00pm, and closed Mondays. It also runs a honey extraction service for beekeepers from the first week of July through October 15.

Before You Go

Call ahead only if you want extraction service, which runs through the second half of the year and may need booking. Shop stock changes with the season, and the shop's page lists no varieties, so ask what is in the case when you arrive.
