Laura’s Story

Laura’s Sweet and Spicy Emporium began for  Laura Latner as a small dream, as most things do, but for Laura it all started on her grandmothers front porch. Peddling Jerry’s Beehives honey to her local small town crowd. Soon demand grew, the honey was spectacular, the demand had outgrown her humble beginnings. Laura took a leap and procured a vending booth at Renningers Market in Mount Dora Florida. It was clear that Laura’s Sweet and Spicy Emporium quickly became the retail arm for the Latner Family Honey Farm. With more than a 50 year history, the Latner family built their reputation on a superior farmed honey. With the constant goal of producing and packing honey directly for the consumer. Honey Farm to your Table.

It didn’t take long to realize Laura’s Sweet and Spicy Emporium had become a local treasure providing other lines of Farm Fresh, Farm produced products. With great care our family selected products unrivaled in their taste, freshness, and dedication to quality.

After 50 years, having the ability to operate our own facilities, has  provided Laura’s and the Latner family the opportunity to bring you the very best lines of products at a reasonable price.

Today Laura’s Sweet and Spicy Emporium offers for sale 7 different varieties of Florida honey for sale, at both of our locations Altoona Florida, as well as Mount Dora Florida. Laura’s is among the very few websites where you can buy honey online directly from the Beekeeper.


Looking forward to Novembers Article “A labor of love.”

“Doin a labor of love.”

Our Beekeeper

Jerry Latner of Jerry’s Beehives in Altoona Florida. “This years Gallberry crop was a tremendous success. We’ve been hard at work, doin a labor of love.” It shines through in every beautiful bottle. Learn more from Jerry in the upcoming months as he expounds on his more than 6 decades of experience.

Some may think they are literally in the middle of nowhere, not Jerry Latner. Jerry has been “in the middle of nowhere”, working his bees since he was 10 years old. “Back before GPS. There were no cell phones. Heck there were no pay phones around here either.” Jerry tells me as we move closer to the hives. His voice hardly audible over the drone of millions of bees. “Now no matter what, don’ start runnin.” For my very first time in the bees this was turning out to bee……..

More to come in November. We dive head first into a first timers experience from field to farm to table. Gallberry harvest 2020...

Michelle gave Laura‘s all natural as a try. “ The face and body honey soap. I love it! I love the smell and with being sunburnt it’s exceptionally helped me from not peeling.” She goes on to explain “The Lotion was my favorite……” being sunburnt Laura’s Face and Hand Cream “My face and my chest, had no peeling…..” It’s pretty clear to see that Laura‘s all Natural‘s help Michelle a great deal!
