HEWETT'S HONEY FARM
Straight from the Hewett’s honeybee farm Located in Duncanville, only 15 minutes south of Tuscaloosa, Hewett’s specializes in organic honey. Bill Hewett and son, Geary took up beekeeping as a hobby in the 1970s then started selling honey in the 1990s as a way to fund their pastime. “People are much more interested in organic honey now than when we started the business because there’s a greater effort to eat all-natural now,” Geary said. Hewett’s sells honey at the farm and through the Manna Grocery & Deli in Tuscaloosa. They also run a busy mail order service online, frequently shipping to customers in Japan because a shortage of honey bees there makes organic honey hard to find. In addition, Hewett’s offers a yummy honey soap, made with ground almond shells that work great as an exfoliator.

They go to work at daylight ad work until dark. And nobody has to tell them how to do it.“ Share blog posts, products, or promotions with your customers.

If you read the label on most commercial honey you will find the word “blended” and the different countries from which this blended honey originates. And it is pasteurized. My honey is different in that it is not pasteurized and there is a personal touch that goes along with every bottle. The bottle is filled by a real person, the tops and labels are put on the bottles by a real person and there is an “aim to please” that goes along with every sale. If you want quality, home grown, pure local honey then this is your place. Been getting honey from them for years. Taste great and has even helped with my allergies. The honey is delicious, wild flower variety. If you get honey on late summer, you may taste notes of wild roses. Love the little honey house set up. Very convenient since you can visit at any time and pick up your honey. The honey is always delicious!
