I was searching around on facebook for local honey to Richmond Hill and I found the Southern Bell Bee company. It's a family-owned hive that collects honey every few months from their bees. Their current honey now is gallberry and wildflower. All you do is call the number 912-656-3391 or email bellfamilyrawhoney@gmail.com and Mike Bell or his wife Ashley will drop off your honey to you (depending on how far away you are). It's $10 per pound or $25 for their 3 pound. They take cash or venmo. I ordered that day and they dropped off a few hours later. I'm a huge fan of honey because I have allergies and in talking with Mike Bell (co-owner), he recommended that to stay up with the season, make sure you're getting the different seasonal batches. The bees collect the pollen, turn it into honey and we ingest it which helps our immune system prepare for the allergens that season. Also - for any mead makers, this is your spot to get fresh local honey! https://www.facebook.com/bellfamilylocalrawhoney (Their facebook page)

Based on the types of honey, they offered to try the honey on a spoon or on a cracker. I liked how knowledgable the workers here were and answered any questions they were asked. They have a wide variety of honey and even had raw and pasturized honey. I tried the local GA honey and it had a very nice taste to it. I bought my mother a bottle of pasturized honey and she loved it. We bought honey, pomegranate mead for the trip and while it is unqiue, I thought it was alright but could be better. Overall, this was a great experience. I really enjoyed the variety of honey tastings offered. If you like honey, you should make a stop here!

In her free time, she is busy building new structures for the bee's, planting hundreds of "bee happy" plants, educating youth at the local schools, and gathering with the gardening groups.

Sometimes, I eat it just by the spoon full

The packages are now hives and are going strong and overflowing.

I have been purchasing Tupelo honey from them since I quit trying to raise my own bees/aviary. I'm fine with Willibanks! I travel there from Lyons,GA.

We got a tree and a wreath! Trees come in varying sizes. They have different colored tags to denote how tall the tree is. Their wreaths come in different sizes too!

A few of the things we enjoyed were the pony ride ($7) for our toddler, the cow ride, their muscadine apple cider, the ride out to the pumpkin patch, and of course the petting farm. The petting farm gives you the opportunity to feed the animals in their stalls, which little kids love. And adults. They have a lot of little activities/play areas for kids here. I would say they had around 20+ activities total, to include music, food, a fishing area, and pumpkin patches. The pumpkin patch isn't your traditional pumpkin patch, but all of the pumpkins are included in the $15 price. It's 1x pumpkin per wrist band and the pumpkins are small to medium sized. The farm takes a bunch of pumpkins and puts them out in a field. This is likely safer though, because of snakes, spiders, and who knows what else that lurks in pumpkin patches in the country. We didn't get a chance to do the haunted trail for an extra $5, but I bet it's a lot of fun. The weather was a perfect 72 degrees up until 1 o'clock and then the sun turned on. Getting there at 10AM when it opens is definitely worth it.

I've always wanted to visit Hunter Cattle Co, but just never had the time or found another excuse…read morenot to make the 40 minute drive from Savannah. This particular day I was glad that I did. I went out there unsure of what I was going to see, but I did have a preconceived idea that it would be some big store on a farm. My idea was the furthest thing from the truth. To be quite honest, I thought my GPS was wrong, because all that we saw was some older run down buildings and a bunch of random cars parked nearby. Let me tell you how glad I am that we proceeded and walked inside. Now when I say that MooMa's (the actual store) is small, it truly is. They have a great selection of local food items like honey, jams, pasta noodles, milk, etc. The one thing that threw me though was the two smaller "ice cream freezers" that had frozen beef and pork. I prefer fresh meat over frozen any day, but I was willing to give it a shot. I loaded up on burgers, brats, and Italian sausage, but I did ask about fresh meat. They told me that they dry age all their beef, so if you let them know ahead of time before you go, they will cut it and have it ready for you when you arrive. Talk about customer service! That right there made this a five star establishment. I'll say this too, we cooked the frozen burgers and they were amazing. Not one of us could tell that they were frozen, which again backs my five stars. I'm not quite sure who the gentleman that came out of the office was, or the lady that he was with, but those two and the older gal working the store were the best. I'll drive here any day to buy my meat before going to a chain grocery store. Thank you Hunter Cattle!

Out of six or seven available varieties, we chose the Farmhouse Garlic - partially on the recommendation of the very helpful Hunter representative, but mostly cos both I and Mrs I love garlic :) The jerky is absolutely fantastic. It's tender, comes across as moist even though it has obviously been dried, and the garlic is such a fresh note that you really get to appreciate the heat that garlic can possess. I don't want to call it spicy - it's not like a jalapeño or anything like that - but it's a crisp, fresh heat like you get from a good peppercorn. I highly recommend it, and I'll be sure to give their other products a whirl as well.
