Venue: Francis Field, San Marco Avenue, St. Augustine, Florida
Type: Honey Market
St. Augustine — the oldest continuously occupied European-founded city in the United States, established by the Spanish in 1565 on the northeast Florida coast — sits within one of Florida's most diverse honey landscapes, where the coastal scrub, live oak hammocks, salt marshes, and semi-tropical forest of the St. Johns River lowlands produce a remarkable honey flow from gallberry, saw palmetto, titi, cabbage palm, orange blossom, and the coastal wildflowers unique to the First Coast's historic landscape. Francis Field's scenic downtown setting, surrounded by St. Augustine's colonial architecture and the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, hosts this mid-April artisan market celebrating Florida's beekeeping heritage in the context of the nation's oldest continuously settled city. The St. Augustine region's honey reflects the extraordinary botanical diversity of northeast Florida's ecotone between the subtropical lowlands to the south and the temperate mixed forest zone to the north: the convergence of gallberry scrub (producing Florida's famous dark, full-flavored gallberry honey), coastal saw palmetto, and the wildflower meadows of the St. Johns River floodplain creates a honey flow season spanning nearly ten months. The market features First Coast honey tastings with specialty emphasis on gallberry and saw palmetto varietals; educational programs from the University of Florida's St. Johns County Extension on northeast Florida beekeeping; honey pairings featuring Florida orange, datil pepper products, and Minorcan-heritage cuisine with local artisan honeys; artisan honey and beeswax vendors from Clay, Putnam, and St. Johns counties; family programs on Florida native pollinator gardens; and presentations on the historic role of beekeeping in Spanish colonial Florida.
