Local honey in South Carolina

Last updated November 8, 2026 · 39 producers listed · Southeast & Appalachia

South Carolina's honey climbs from the coast to the hills. In the Upstate, where the Blue Ridge tips into the state, sourwood blooms on the high ground in midsummer — the spiced, light-amber single-origin prized across the Southern mountains. Down through the Midlands and into the Lowcountry, the jar turns to gallberry and cotton blossom: gallberry, an amber pulled from the pine flatwoods that resists crystallizing, and cotton, a mild, pale honey off the old field crops. Along the tidal edge, coastal wildflower carries a faint salt-marsh character you won't find inland. Bloom runs early in the Lowcountry heat and later in the hills, so a single warm spring can stagger the whole state's harvest — and shift what's in the jar from one season to the next.
