Angelina,
This time of year, the easiest place to find local honey and eggs is Chatham Marketplace, the co-op grocery store north of the traffic circle in Pittsboro (see http://chathammarketplace.coop/). The honey is supplied by Chatham County beekeepers, and eggs are from pastured hens from various Chatham farms.
The Chatham County farmers’ markets will open in early April and will have eggs. Honey is harder to come by at the farmers’ markets in Chatham but the larger farmers’ markets often have it.
Thanks for supporting our beekeepers and farmers!
Debbie
