Discover Our Full Tupelo Honey Collection
Tupelo, the Cadillac of honey
Tupelo honey is one of nature’s rarest treasures, produced when honeybees collect nectar from the blossoms of the white Ogeechee tupelo trees, which bloom most prolifically along the river systems of Northwest Florida each spring. Beekeepers place their hives along the waterways of the Apalachicola and Choctawhatchee river basins, where the purest Tupelo Honey is produced.
Unlike commercial honey, ours is never heated or filtered. It’s slow to crystallize, naturally lower on the glycemic index, and packed with a delicate floral flavor. Handcrafted on our family farm in Florida, every harvest reflects care, tradition, and a deep respect for the land and the bees.

FAQs
Is raw Tupelo honey better than regular honey?
That depends on what you’re looking for! Tupelo honey is known for its light, buttery flavor and smooth texture. It’s also less likely to crystallize compared to other honeys. Many honey lovers prefer it for its unique taste and how it stays liquid longer.
Does Tupelo honey crystallize?
Tupelo honey is naturally slow to crystallize thanks to its higher fructose content. It will eventually thicken over time, but it typically stays smooth and pourable longer than most other honeys.
Can diabetics eat Tupelo honey?
Tupelo honey is naturally lower on the glycemic index compared to some other kinds of honey, but it’s still a sugar. If you have diabetes or health concerns, it’s always best to talk to your doctor about what’s right for you.
How should I store it?
Store your Tupelo honey at room temperature in a cool, dry place—no need to refrigerate. Just keep the lid tightly closed to keep moisture out.
What’s the shelf life?
Raw honey doesn’t really expire! If stored properly, Tupelo honey can last for years. Over time, it may darken or thicken, but it’ll still taste great.
