Greenwood Honey Co.

the art of beekeeping

We both have always been inspired by nature and Steven has been an artist for as long as he can remember. We wanted the two worlds to combine as they exist mutualistically together. Beekeeping and selling our honey gives us a chance to connect the dots between love, nature, art and community, building a powerful bond with each other while sharing our journey and honey with our neighbors. We find it important to provide our community with immune support for their health and allergies from local honeybees who pollinate 80% of crops providing food for all of us. 

Greenwood Honey Company started with one hive and has now expanded to 50 hives. We have apiaries in a few different locations in Nashville. One location is the rooftop of our favorite local organic grocery store: The Turnip Truck, another is on Brooke and Steve Giannetti’s property for Patina Home & Garden out of Leiper’s Fork, Tn, as well as, Leiper’s Fork Distillery.

Each batch of our honey is a limited edition from a specific hive. Each hive is named and written on the bottle so everyone can taste the different notes, aromas and flavor changes that all of our hives produce based off the different time in the season and pollen sources the bees are foraging on. We do not mix all of the honey harvested together. Our bottles feature Steven Abernathy’s original artwork signifying which apiary location our honey comes from. The bottles are finished with a beeswax seal made from the excess honeycomb wax cappings after the harvest, which are then melted down and tinted black with activated charcoal and finished with a Greenwood Honey Co. wax seal stamp pop of color.
