Wewahitchka is the World’s Largest Tupelo Honey Producer

This small town is home to one of the most unique and largest beekeeping operations in the state. Every year there’s an annual Tupelo Honey Festival on the third Saturday of May to celebrate Florida’s golden gem Tupelo Honey. This popular event draws many people in to learn about the best Tupelo Honey Farm in the world.

On a regular day, you can take a honey tasting experience at the local honey shop owned by the Lanier family who has farmed the honey for over three generations. The shop is called Smiley Honey and can be found at 163 Bozeman Circle.

This honey comes from a special tupelo gum tree. The tree thrives in areas prone to flooding and loves wetlands and marshes.
