Get to know us!

Some buildings hold memories. Ours holds generations of hard work.
Long before Southern Origin Meadery filled this space with the aroma of honey and mead, our manufacturing facility in Canon was a sewing plant managed by Monroe (father and founder of Southern Origin) producing blue jeans for some of the biggest designers in the country. For years, skilled hands worked tirelessly within these walls, building a legacy of craftsmanship and dedication.
Today, that same 16,000-square-foot facility has been transformed into the heart of Southern Origin Meadery. It's where we harvest honey from our bees, craft award-winning meads, bottle thousands of bottles, and welcome guests into what we believe is one of the most unique tasting rooms around.
The purpose of the building may have changed, but the spirit hasn't. It's still a place built on family, hard work, and pride in what we create.
When you walk through our doors, you're not just visiting a meadery…you’re stepping into a piece of our family's story. And if you ask us, you can feel the love in every corner. 🍯❤️
