Thank you so much for the shoutout, rook to knight 💚 I’m so proud to feed our community, one cookie at a time! 🍪
🌿 WELCOME TO THE FARM HOP! 🌿
One of my favorite things about adding new stops to the Farm Hop is that, little by little, we’re getting to know our communities in a completely different way.
Not just the businesses we pass every day.
The little farm stand down a country road. The baker creating something special from a home kitchen. The beekeeper bottling local honey. The family turning what they grow, gather, bake or make into something they can share with their neighbors.
And sometimes, the place that becomes a destination all by itself.
These are the kinds of places the Farm Hop was created to help us find, and this week, we have even more to introduce you to. 💚
So please help us give a big Farm Hop welcome to our newest members of the family!
📍 LIVE OAK
🍯 Florida Boy Honey Company-115 Broad Ave NE, Live Oak, FL
Honesty Stand offering local Florida honey and honey products from a company rooted in the beekeeping world. A sweet new addition for anyone who loves knowing a little more about where the food in their pantry comes from. They are also open to bartering💚

💚 WELCOME TO THE FARM HOP!
To all of our newest stops: we are so happy to have you here!
The Farm Hop isn’t about making every local business look the same. Quite the opposite. It’s about celebrating what makes each one different, and making it a little easier for the rest of us to find them.
Because when we know who is growing, baking, raising, harvesting and creating around us, shopping local stops feeling like an abstract idea.
It becomes a person.
A family.
A farm.
A kitchen.
A roadside stand.
A neighbor.
And that is how we begin reconnecting with the communities around us.
Want to explore more? Our continuously growing Farm Hop Master List is in the pinned post, organized by location with details for each stop.
And if you own or operate a farm, farm stand, nursery, cottage bakery, local market or other small business that fits the spirit of the Farm Hop, or you have a favorite local place you think we need to know about, please reach out! We are always looking for the places hiding down the back roads and in our hometowns that deserve to be discovered.
🌱 Discover. Support. Preserve.
🚜 No Farms. No Food. No Future.
💚 You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy local, and that’s kind of the same thing.
*disclaimer: this is not an actual map, it is just a background and a way to work with the algorithm, ensuring maximum exposure for these amazing businesses.
