Shop Local
Meet the beekeeper, taste the honey, and shop handcrafted local products in person
Meet the Beekeeper
There is something fundamentally different about buying honey from the person who tends the bees. At a farmers market, you can taste before you buy. You can ask questions about the harvest, the flowers, the season. You can see the passion behind the product.
Goodfriend Honey Co. is a fixture at farmers markets across Bradenton and Sarasota. Every Saturday and Sunday, we set up our booth and bring our full product line: raw honey, beeswax candles, skincare balms, body butters, and more.
Whether you are a longtime customer or just discovering us for the first time, the farmers market is the best way to experience Goodfriend Honey Co. up close. Taste our raw honey. Feel the difference of our balms. Talk to us about our bees.
Why Shop Local
Shopping at a farmers market is not just convenient. It is a better way to buy.
Sample our raw honey and discover the unique flavor profiles of different seasonal harvests. No guessing, no returns, just honey you know you love.
Ask about our beekeeping process, our ingredients, our formulas. We love talking about our bees and products with customers face to face.
Every purchase at the farmers market stays in Manatee and Sarasota County. You are supporting local beekeepers and the small business community.
Market products come straight from our latest harvest and production runs. You are getting the freshest honey and skincare available anywhere.
