According to the Farmers’ Almanac, “eating unfiltered, unheated, raw honey produced within your area (within a 50-mile radius) is like receiving a natural anti-allergy shot.” Luckily, southwest Missouri is not short on beekeepers or honey producers, and their products can be found all across the region. We tracked down just a sampling of where you can find local, raw honey.
