Naples Honey Company

Naples Honey Company was founded by Kirsten May and her husband Tom 25 years ago when Kirsten gave Tom his first beehive for their one-year wedding anniversary. “It took off from there,” she says.

All of their honey is from their local hives and is raw and unpasteurized. “They all taste a little different,” she says. “Local honey is really good for you. It helps with digestion and allergies.”

In addition to the four farmers’ markets May attends each week during the season, her products are also sold at Summer Day Café on Marco and at Wynn’s Market in Naples. Orange blossom is their most popular flavor.

Fun fact: Tom May is the assistant principal cellist at Naples Philharmonic. “That’s his real job,” May says. “This is a hobby.”
