Holmes County, Florida
Holmes County is a quiet corner of Florida’s Panhandle. Bonifay, the county seat, is a small town where everyone seems to know each other. The county is mostly rural, with rolling hills and forests.
You won’t find any beaches here because it’s pure inland Florida. Farming and timber are big parts of the local economy. The Choctawhatchee River runs along the eastern border with good fishing spots.
Locals take pride in their Southern heritage and country lifestyle. The county fair is a big event, bringing folks from all around. Holmes County moves slower than the rest of Florida. Plus, it’s far from Florida’s tourist hubs.
