The farm

Heathwood first. Honey is what leaves with you.

Anselmo Orchards LLC is a home-based farm and apiary at 827 Kipling Dr. The lemon wall and greenhouse are the place we keep — not an online plant shop. Citrus and starts are not for sale on this site right now. If anything changes, it will be appointment-only, never a cart.

The lemon wall

Heathwood, Columbia — Zone 8b. A curved stone wall of citrus is the setting for this farm, not an online catalog.

Greenhouse & yard

Polycarbonate house, shade tent, and patio benches. Nursery work happens here; plant sales are not offered on this site right now.

Four hives on this lot

Langstroth hives at 827 Kipling Dr, registered with SC DHEC (Form 0855). Best Friends Honey is packed from these boxes.

Named for Frances Kathrine Anselmo Wilkinson

1920–2010 · Wilkinson's Grocery and Meat Market

Frances kept Wilkinson’s Grocery in Galveston for decades after Covy died — one of the last corner markets on the island. The name on this farm is hers. Todd and Tatum Wilkinson keep the yard in Heathwood; Best Friends Honey is what we sell from it today.
