We were all excited to check this honey store out. In the back they have a very cool tasting table. There are over ten different kinds of honey to try. I loved that you could taste test things before making purchases. It was awesome to see how different each one tasted. My group and I had a blast here. They had everything from bottles of honey, honey sticks, bee pollen, honey supplies, and more. I ended up buying a beautiful bottle of the sourwood and a few honey sticks in fireweed and meadowfoam. The honey is both local and from other states too! The staff is beyond friendly. I highly recommend making a stop to check this charming shop out.

And the Asheville Bee Charmer continues to be an amazing resource and showcase of some of the best the gals have to offer. So many delicious honey varietals to choose from! They have their own locally sourced honey including Sourwood and Wildflower, and some sourced varieties from out of state, including Tupelo from Florida and the Chicory and Meadowfoam from the Pacific NW. They even carry Lehua from Hawaii and Fireweed from Alaska! There's also infused flavors like coffee, ghost pepper, chai, lavender, vanilla bean, and more. And the best part? You can try them all! That was my favorite part of visiting, of course, and the staff was very kind and generous with us. We didn't just sample and leave though! We ended up buying more than a few jars to take home to us and to my mom. Speaking of gifts, they also have some really cute bee themed housewares, plus skin care, candles, and other products made from bee's wax. There are two locations in downtown Asheville and somehow it still doesn't seem like enough! We found that both carry the same items, however, so if you've been to one you might not need to hit the other one. Unless you're like me and just want to keep the honey party going!

Excellent honey and friendly folks. They have everything you need to get into beekeeping.read more

This is a wonderful place to visit and very easy to get to in Hendersonville. We stopped by the…read morefarm to see about their fresh vegatables. We were pleasantly surprised by the superb quality of their offerings. Their zucchini and squash were flawlessly presented. They had beautiful strawberries by the bucket. Their frozen meat products were plentiful and they had an array of honeys, jams, and relishes. Ice cream is very much on the menu at the farm whether it be on a cone, cup, or in a shake. The best part was going in the back with my wife where she picked wild flowers (no charge), along with sunflowers (huge). I highly recommend visiting the Johnson Family Farm. We were not expecting much when we got there, but left knowing we would return. I hope this helps.

We found that both carry the same items, however, so if you've been to one you might not need to hit the other one. But since I've been to both I thought I'd write a bit here, too. It may be bias since the other location was the one I was first acquainted with but I found the other space a bit more comfortable and charming. Not to say there's anything wrong with this one.

We made sure to check the website before driving mode to this market. Market it states that…read morewell-behaved leash pads are welcomed in outdoor market areas but are not allowed inside any of the buildings, sheds or shops. That is totally reasonable so we made the truck over. When we arrived however, I thought we were in the wrong place. It has an industrial feel, not a farmers market feel, and there were no markets going on outside. As a matter of fact, the only market was indoor with about a dozen or so stalls. We were disappointed, but I wanted to check it out so my husband remained in the vehicle with our dog. I looked at every market stall inside and I was in and out in about 5 minutes. Having produce doesn't make something a farmers market. It just felt like walking around local grocery store. About a third of the vendors were fruits and vegetables and the rest were knick-knacks and t-shirts and miscellaneous items. Also, it was incredibly empty. I mean I understand why. I did find a new cider to try but knowing what I know now, I would most likely not make the drive again. I realize I'm not from the area, but this was no different than any local grocery stores to me.

Over the past 40-50 years West Jefferson has certainly changed, but this small town has so much to offer visitors to see and do! Don't miss a visit to the Honey Hole and West Jefferson!

They are so good to have on hand for tea, peanut butter toast or just a shot for your sweet tooth! Being a bee expert is not a requirement to enjoy this place, just a love of honey!! By the way, I'm obsessed with the exterior mural!!!!!
