About Bee Well Honey Farm
A Family Tradition Since 1999
Founded in 1999 by Kerry and Donna Owen, Bee Well Honey Farm began with a passion for beekeeping and a vision of producing exceptional local honey while serving the community they call home.
Over the past 25 years, that vision has grown far beyond the hive. Today, Bee Well Honey Farm has become one of Upstate South Carolina's premier agritourism destinations—a place where visitors can experience local agriculture through fresh food, handcrafted products, and genuine Southern hospitality.
The business remains family-owned and operated. Kerry and Donna continue to lead the company, while their son, Stetson Owen, oversees The Open Door Restaurant, carrying on the family's commitment to quality, service, and welcoming every guest like family.
Growing Into an Agritourism Destination
As Bee Well Honey Farm grew, so did our vision.
What started as a honey business has evolved into a destination where visitors can experience the best of local agriculture all in one place. Today, our family of businesses includes the Bee Well Honey Farm Produce Market, The Open Door Restaurant, Bee Well Honey Coffee Café, Bee Well Honey, and Bee Well Honey Bottling & Distribution.
Together, these businesses create an experience that celebrates fresh local food, supports South Carolina farmers, and gives visitors an authentic connection to agriculture.
Whether you're shopping for seasonal produce, enjoying a homemade meal, sipping freshly brewed coffee, or taking home a jar of local honey, every visit helps support local growers, food producers, and small businesses throughout our region.
Supporting Local Agriculture
Supporting local agriculture has always been at the heart of Bee Well Honey Farm.
We proudly partner with farmers and food producers throughout Upstate South Carolina to offer fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, homemade baked goods, specialty foods, jams, jellies, sauces, local honey, and many other locally produced products.
Every season brings something new to discover—from vine-ripened tomatoes and sweet Silver Queen corn to fresh peaches, blueberries, pumpkins, apples, and holiday favorites. By choosing local whenever possible, we're able to provide fresher products while helping strengthen our agricultural community.

Our Produce Market is the centerpiece of Bee Well Honey Farm. Here you'll find fresh local produce, specialty foods, homemade baked goods, gifts, and products from local farms and artisans. It's where visitors can experience the changing seasons through the freshest foods our region has to offer.
The Open Door Restaurant
Located next door to the Produce Market, The Open Door Restaurant has become a favorite gathering place for breakfast and lunch.
Managed by Stetson Owen, the restaurant serves homemade breakfasts, fresh salads, sandwiches, burgers, soups, daily specials, and homemade desserts in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whenever possible, ingredients are sourced from Bee Well Honey Farm Produce Market and local farms, creating a true farm-to-table dining experience.

Bee Well Honey
Honey is where our story began, and it remains at the heart of who we are.
Bee Well Honey offers pure local honey, raw honey, creamed honey, flavored honey, beeswax products, gift items, and seasonal specialties. Every product reflects our commitment to quality, sustainable beekeeping, and the honey bees that make it all possible.
Bee Well Honey Bottling & Distribution
Our wholesale division allows Bee Well Honey products to reach customers throughout the Southeast.
Bee Well Honey Bottling & Distribution provides premium honey products, private-label bottling, and wholesale distribution for retailers, specialty food stores, farm markets, and businesses looking for trusted, high-quality honey products.
More Than a Place to Shop
Bee Well Honey Farm is more than a market, a restaurant, or a coffee shop. It's a destination where people come to experience the flavors, traditions, and hospitality of Upstate South Carolina.
Families gather over breakfast at The Open Door Restaurant. Friends meet for coffee at the Bee Well Honey Coffee Café. Customers shop for fresh produce grown by local farmers. Visitors discover premium honey products that have been a Bee Well Honey tradition since 1999.
Every visit supports local agriculture, strengthens our community, and helps preserve the values that inspired Kerry and Donna Owen to start Bee Well Honey Farm more than two decades ago.
We're grateful for every customer who walks through our doors, and we invite you to experience everything Bee Well Honey Farm has to offer.
