    I'm looking for a local honey.

    Preferably a small local beekeeper that produces their own honey and sells it direct.

    Can anybody recommend someone?

    FF, I dont know of any local to DL, but if by chance you are looking for that famed hayfever cure by consuming local pollen, my long suffering wife tried a few local craft honeys from a short distance away from our homeplace and they did not make a single bit of difference to her. If anything, a very top range manuka honey is the way to go, not because of the pollen but it has very potent natural anti-inflammatory properties which improves allergic reaction

    If you just want some for your brown bread then tell us if you find a nice one!:)

    The guys in select stores may be able to help you. If they don't stick it they could probably point you in the right direction

    This is purely and simply for my toast and porridge, not hay fever or anything.

    Select stores was my first thought, but whilst I do like the shop, I'd rather not pay their sky high prices.

    The garden centre in Carrickmines stocks honey that's produced from hives they keep up at the back of their plot.

    There's a farm at the back of Bohernabreena lake that sells it.

    Doyle's nursery on Brennanstown Road which on the web says Cabinteely but because all the houses around there are so big I assumed it was Carrickmines/Foxrock :D.

    Slightly off topic but I'd put Cabinteely ahead if Carrickmines in the big house and money stakes

    ^ By a long shot. Brennanstown Road is proper old money.

    Fred, if you want proper local honey, you could ask the beekeepers association if there is any local bee keepers. I would there would be at least one in the local.

    I got some recently in the health shop in the Swan Ctr in Rathmines, however, the Honey Show'll be on the 2nd Nov in the church in Rathgar - which is where I was recommended to go when I asked the County Dublin Beekeepers Ass a few weeks ago :)
