THE LADY MAY — OCEAN SPRINGS

The restaurant you know. The table you can bring home.

The Lady May began with our grandmothers’ recipes and a restaurant in downtown Ocean Springs. Now the honey, cooking tallow, pickles, jams, biscuits, and gift boxes behind that story are ready for your pantry.

FROM THE HIVES TO THE TABLE

Local honey began with what we wanted to serve.

We wanted local honey we would be proud to serve in the restaurant, so we learned beekeeping. Jon tends the hives, watches the weather, and guides small-batch harvests used at The Lady May, sold at May’s Market, and offered for your table at home.

AN ODE TO OUR GRANDMOTHERS

Two family kitchens still guide ours.

Will Taylor grew up eating at his grandmother’s table in West Point, Mississippi. Chris McDonald grew up doing the same in New Orleans. The Lady May brings those Southern and Italian Catholic food traditions together—then follows wherever the recipes lead.
