Since ancient times the world has known the healing and health benefits of honey. It contains nutrients and antioxidants. It can help lower your blood pressure and triglycerides and improve your cholesterol. It promotes burn and wound healing and suppresses coughs. it's been touted to prevent cancer and heart disease, reduce ulcers, ease digestive problems, regulate blood sugar, and increase athletic performance. Basically it's a wonder drug but you can't use the processed stuff, you need it in the raw like they sell here. Whenever I find a farmers market I am on the lookout for local honey. That is why I was so happy to find the Harold P. Curtis Honey Co. The Harold P. Curtis Honey Co. store has been a landmark near the Caloosahatchee River on N Bridge Street since 1954. You get the honey directly from the Curtis family hives which can be found in the orange groves, pines, mangroves and along the beaches of South Central Florida. Farmers depend on the bees to pollinate their crops and the bees make the Curtis honey. Curtis Honey Co. is located in a historic building from 1927 that used to be the towns mercantile. The store is managed by the daughter of Harold P. Curtis, Rene Curtis Pratt who I had the pleasure of chatting with. Honey varieties include sea grape, mangrove, wildflower, palmetto, and orange blossom. In addition to the honey offered in many different sizes they also sell gator sauce and other spicy seasonings, honey candy, tea, jellies, honey candy, candles, and honey beauty products like soap, lotion, and lip balm. I purchased the amazing orange blossom honey soap for myself and gifts. The honey drop candy cured a minor throat irritation I have had for a month. I ended up purchasing a few gifts for upcoming birthdays which I know will be enjoyed. With the current focus on supporting local agriculture and eating healthy now is the time to rediscover what our ancestors knew, honey is good for you. Stop by the Harold P. Curtis Honey Co. to find out all the ways you can enjoy this sweet nectar. You will "bee" glad you did. read more

What's not to love about a historical landmark and local honey from a family who is passionate about what they do and live for. They have a total of 6 varieties of honey. And yes they have slightly different colors and unique tastes. The juice/nectar from the blooms is sucked into a two part stomach its Carried from the plant back to the beehive and a Another Bee transports it to the beehive comb cells. To evaporate off some of the water to make a wonderful bee spit from flowers in and around Florida. They provide tours and have great knowledge of how everything comes together in nature. They also have local produce, candy, candles and gift sets. Dwayne and his wife knows all about the honey business and is willing to share their passion just ask. 019/14 read more

Great customer service and a little secret- delicious fudge. But it's the honey we all come for. I buy it in large quantities for myself and to give as gifts. I have been enjoying this honey since 1979. It's worth a day trip from anywhere in the state. You can sample and taste the nuances of the varieties. I have sampled honeybee places all over our great state but Harold Curtis Honey is the best hands down. My trip is over an hour. So worth it even during snow bird season. read more

The history associated with this business is long the bee honey is very good I stopped by there with my wife yesterday our first visit we were greeted by the coldest short tempered older gentleman. I will never go there again because of how cold he was to us. As if we were a bother and were shoplifting. Great soap delicious honey BAD SALESMAN YUCK! read more

Took a little visit to Lebelle and done some sight seeing. Been a while since I've been back . I'm very glad to see Harolds Honey Co still up and running. One of the best places to get REAL pure honey. The owner's nephew was running the shop. Great to see a family tan business. The nephew was very informative and knowledgeable about everything we asked. Even went into detail about the store itself. Just amazing the customer service I've received. When I do run Out of honey, I'll gladly take the 1 hour drive to get more. read more

Best Local Honey!! Palmetto Honey is my favorite! Stop by and sample the different varieties to see which one is your favorite!!

Well, we fully support the CA reviewers sentiments; we too regularly buy from Curtis as seasonal FL residents as well as have them ship to WA 2 x a year their wonderful products. We have used their SEAGRAPE, as well as the ORANGE BLOSSOM honeys, and are delighted by the consistently high quality and taste. We also purchased additional honey as gifts for friends and family. The likely reason that Curtis survives economical challenging times is that they do not artificially inflate their prices, as many, many FL businesses do, particularly during tourist season, but stay true to sincere, ethical principals, which are of course also clearly reflected in the quality of their products. Furthermore, the family operated business understands the meaning of customer service, thus assures many loyal followers who would not go anywhere else - also, because they gethe best tasting honey .... read more
