Shannon Farms
Shannon Farms is a family-owned honey company based in the peaceful Buckingham area of Fort Myers, Florida. For over a decade, we have been dedicated to producing raw, local honey while maintaining a commitment to quality and sustainability. Our honey varieties include Orange Blossom, Wildflower, Saw Palmetto, and Brazilian Pepper, along with seasonal specialties like Spun Honey and fresh Honeycomb. Every jar is crafted with care, bringing the pure, natural flavors of Southwest Florida to your table.
The Shannon Farm Bees
Our bees are at the heart of everything we do. By providing them with a healthy, thriving habitat, we ensure they can continue to pollinate and support the local ecosystem. We never overharvest honey, allowing our bees to retain the resources they need to flourish. Happy, well-cared-for bees not only contribute to environmental health but also produce the best-tasting, highest-quality honey.
Sustainable Beekeeping
At Shannon Farms, ethical and sustainable beekeeping is our top priority. We avoid harmful practices that stress the bees or compromise their well-being. Instead, we focus on building strong colonies, protecting natural forage areas, and using responsible harvesting methods. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our hives—we strive to educate our community about the importance of honeybees and their role in maintaining biodiversity.
