A Celebration of Flavor, Community and Sustainability

Mesa is buzzing. From kitchen to hive, a sweet partnership between Visit Mesa and Alvéole has inspired local chefs to create dishes that celebrate our city’s culinary creativity and commitment to sustainability.

During Honey Week, you’re invited to taste Mesa’s sweetest side—one spoonful, swirl or drizzle at a time. Seven local restaurants are crafting limited-edition, honey-inspired dishes using honey harvested from Alvéole’s thriving urban beehives right here in Mesa.

A portion of the proceeds from every Honey Week dish supports Local First Arizona, helping small businesses grow and communities flourish.

About

In 2022, Visit Mesa joined forces with Alvéole, a Canadian company dedicated to urban beekeeping and sustainability. Together, we sponsor two beehives at Freeman Farms, nurturing thousands of pollinators that keep our ecosystem—and our food—thriving.

Honey Week is our way of celebrating these tiny environmental heroes, our local chefs, and the community that connects them all.
