About this event

Chattanooga — the Tennessee River gorge city where the Cumberland Plateau drops dramatically to the Great Appalachian Valley — sits at one of America's most distinctive botanical crossroads, where the rich Appalachian flora of Lookout Mountain and Signal Mountain meets the Tennessee River bottomlands and the Ridge and Valley province, creating an extraordinary diversity of honey flora. Coolidge Park on the north shore of the Tennessee River hosts this late-summer artisan market featuring beekeepers from Hamilton, Bradley, and Polk counties who harvest the sourwood, tulip poplar, and Appalachian wildflower honeys unique to the Cumberland Plateau edge country above the city and the clover, black locust, and river bottomland honeys from the valley floor below. The market features a Tennessee Appalachian regional honey tasting comparing Cumberland Plateau high-elevation honeys with Tennessee Valley floor varietals; demonstrations of traditional southern Appalachian long-box hive management techniques; educational sessions from UT Extension apiculture specialists on the unique colony management challenges of Tennessee's mountainous terrain; beeswax craft vendors; honey-based Tennessee craft food and beverage pairings; and a special program on the Chickamauga and Chattanooga battlefield landscapes — where the wildflower meadows and hardwood forests preserved as National Military Park provide exceptional bee forage in the midst of the urban region.
