Down Home Honey

08/04/2026

Hey, Hey, Hey Down Home Honey peeps,

We hope everyone's summer is continuing to be spectacular! But, as summer winds down, we have had a few requests through texting and private messages from people who wanted to get some honey before our fall season picks back up in September. So, we thought we'd throw it open to everyone.
We for sure will be going to Bartow, Lakeland, Winter Haven, and Auburndale. However, I have also had a request to go south to Wauchula. So we will probably be going there as well.
If any of our wonderful peeps would like some honey in the next few days, please text us at 863-661-3216, or private message us on Facebook and let us know. We would like to accommodate any of you who want or need any honey. Right now we have most every variety, including Allergy Blend and Hot Honey available, as well as comb honey and chunk honey. We do not currently have any Mangrove, Sourwood, or Tupelo available.
Please let us know as soon as possible as we will probably be making a honey run on or before Friday.
Thank you for the greatest peeps we could have ever imaginined.
Your support and encouragement is so greatly appreciated!!

Have a wonderful evening, and we look forward to seeing everyone again very soon in September when the fall season begins again.

Y'all, how blessed we were this weekend with Ballantine Arts & Craft Shows at the State Fairgrounds in Tampa. We thoroughly enjoyed being a part of this event. Thank you to all who came out, supported our little business and shared wonderful stories with us.

I have to say that one of the greatest highlights of our weekend was seeing a portion of our little booth on Fox 13 NEWS. Yes.. you heard that right... We are "stars".. well, at least my little gingerbread peeps and fireplace and honey straws were for a split second.🥰
Check out the little clip. 🎄🍯🤗 Honey. Yay Glenn Barnett and Barbara Olivio Barnett , your Down Home Honey Peeps.

Ballantine Arts & Craft Shows, Down Home Honey (formerly "Hometown Honey") can't wait to see everyone this weekend at Tampa's Christmas in July at the Tampa Fairgrounds!
We have a new name, but it's the same Balllantine Santa approved honey we introduced everyone to in Ocala last November. Come by and say hello. And, be sure to try samples of our delicious, raw, natural honey to see which is your favorite.
Have a great week and hope to see you this weekend.

Hey, Hey, Hey all our Down Home Honey peeps. Hope you are all having a wonderful summer!

Just wanted to jump on for a moment and let everyone know we will be doing another honey run later this week for all those in the Lakeland area. We have to head that way and can bring honey to anyone who may be in short supply. We don't do any outdoor shows during the summer heat, so we make occasional honey runs to help out anyone needing replenishments.

If you would like to get some honey from us, just text me at 863-661-3216 or private message Barbara Olivio Barnett and let us know what you would like. Please be sure to include what variety, size, and how many you want.

If there is anyone in other areas such as Avon Park/Sebring, Wauchula, Winter Haven/Auburndale, etc., reach out as well, and if there are enough requests, we will make some other honey runs.

We will be doing an event at the end of July on the 25th and 26th at the Florida State Fairground called Christmas in July with Ballantine Arts & Craft Shows. It's indoors and air conditioned. If you're free that weekend, please come see us.

Have a great rest of your summer and let us know if you need any honey. Bee blessed!!
