Type: Honey Festival
Wild ramps — the pungent Appalachian spring onion beloved by mountain foragers — and local West Virginia honey are two of the Mountain State's most iconic wild foods, and this Marion County festival celebrates both together. Held along the Monongalia River bottomlands where ramp patches thrive beneath the hardwood forest canopy, the festival pairs freshly harvested ramps with spring wildflower honey sourced from West Virginia's network of small-scale beekeepers. Honey tasting stations feature tulip poplar, locust, and clover spring flows; culinary demos highlight ramp-honey glazed ham, ramp-infused beeswax butter, and Appalachian honey cake. West Virginia University Extension beekeeping educators lead hive inspection demonstrations, and local ramp foragers share sustainable harvesting techniques that protect these slow-growing native plants.
