Austin Honey Company at Texas Farmers Market: Unfiltered Austin Flavor, One Hive at a Time

Meet Austin Honey Company

Nestled in the heart of Central Texas, Austin Honey Company brings local character and the magic of wild-foraged pollen to each delectable jar of honey. This homegrown, naturally-managed beekeeping venture is owned, staffed, and inspired by long-time Austinites, whose passion for pollination helps both local ecosystems and the food systems that feed their neighbors.

Austin Honey Company’s bees work year-round across urban farm patches and wildflower fields—capturing the richness and diversity of Keep Austin Weird’s famous flora. By using sustainable beekeeping practices, they care for pollinators and harvest only the most vibrant slices of sunshine nature can offer, all while ensuring area crops are pollinated for robust, local food supplies.

The Buzz Behind the Business

From fragrant spring wildflowers to handed-down candle molds—the story at Austin Honey Company is pure, local stewardship. The team cares deeply about craft, terroir, and Austin’s unique pollinator heritage.

In practice, that means:

• Managing bee colonies with natural beekeeping philosophies (no harsh chemicals, ethical harvests)
• Bottling each batch RIGHT after harvest—keeping flavors bold and regionally unique
• Saving some jars for truly artisan experiments (creamed honey, crafts, value-added urban farm concoctions)
• Opening the door to the broader community (SNAP is accepted at market, and classes pop up whenever possible)

“Our hives connect Austin’s land, flowers, and people. If you care about authentic food or want a sweet piece of Central Texas, you’ll want a jar of what our bees make.”—Austin Honey Company Team
