Cross Creek Honey has been busy harvesting fresh honey and stocking up on your favorite flavors like orange blossom, Tupelo, and their best seller, gall berry. Stop by for a sample and check out their new honey candle designs as well as their wonderful variety of honey soaps.

You are encourage to join us as we welcome our two newest vendors. Julie Delf of Amelia Island Tropical and Jeremiah White with Boiled Peanuts and More. Julie sells tropical flowers by the stem, or by the arrangement, and uses unique flowers such as birds of paradise, ginger, orchids and anthodium’s. Jeremiah serves up boiled peanuts in his popular spicy flavor, or perhaps you would be more interested in trying his new garlic blend.
