Honey Supplied by Small Scale Business of Smoky Mountains

Small bottle of honey

When we travel to smoky mountains, the areas cover North Carolina and Tennessee border, we pass through state of Georgia, and stop by at a gift store near the mountains. We saw a lot of handmade items made by local communities.

There are many merchandise and special gifts to bring home, some of them are mugs, soaps, posters, T-shirts, bags, stickers and many more. The price seems reasonable in such tourist destinations.

What attract my attention is a small bottle, four sides bottle which is made of clear glass with size of 4 oz (0.11 liter). The bottle design looks so cute. Inside it is honey. The seller said that honey comes from smoky mountains.

The seller added: “honey has wildflower flavor of smoky mountains, and delicious found nowhere.” It is well known that forest covers American Southeastern, mainly in smoky mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina, generates high quality honey.

Sourwood trees produce nectar during blooming seasons, then honeybees use the nectar to manufacture honey.  Beekeepers start to collect honey from bee hives at elevation 3100 feet (1000 m) of mountains around July every year.

Honey in the small bottle is supplied by company called “C & S Honey Supply.” What surprising me that company has 3 employees only with annual revenue US$ 50 thousands, very much tiny business.

My point is that if you buy somethings (gifts, souvenir, handmade or whatever) in tourist destinations, you may help small business or local communities or other small handmade producers.

  3. I like the honey bottle. Whenever I visit the Bee Farms in the highland, I will buy back a big tub of honey.

  9. Betul. Membeli oleh-oleh dari tempat wisata pun tidak perlu harus yang paling mahal atau membeli banyak, tapi membeli sebotol madu misalnya, kita sudah membantu usaha penduduk/komunitas lokalnya.

  10. I will remember these words, "if you buy somethings (gifts, souvenir, handmade or whatever) in tourist destinations, you may help small business or local communities or other small handmade producers"

    Very good point. I also buy the souvenirs or something from small buyer, to increase their business..
