I second Denny's site for a very good way to go for AG. There's no real
reason NOT to go AG first, if you have the equipment. It is only slightly
more involved than extract (you only have to make a mash and rinse it).

NOTE - you can NOT just get the barley locally and brew beer from it,
as your post "sorta" implies. Raw barley has to be "malted" first.
While it is possible to home malt barley, and some posters here have
done it, nobody does it as a normal part of their routine. It seems
that it is very difficult to get a consistent product from home malting.

On the other hand, it sounds like the "Eden's Organic Barley Malt Syrup"
is simply "liquid malt extract" to me. You can use that directly for
extract brewing. I wonder if the "Organic" version isn't much more
expensive than the LME you can order online, tho'.

I don't remember if anyone posted any online sites for you, but here are
some stores (just as they come to mind, I have no affiliation):

(and tons more)...
Lots of people use on-line stores due to non-local HBSs.

Regarding some of the things you mentioned:
You can use "roasted barley" (unmalted) in stouts. You can use wheat,
malted and unmalted, in different styles of beer. It is possible to
malt wheat and make 100% wheat beers, I understand, but I think you need
to add rice hulls for a filter in your mash tun. Honey can be added to
any beer - it will boost the alcohol level like any pure sugar would.
Honey will add a very slight flavor/aroma... personally it was never
enough for me to notice.

You don't mention them, but you can malt most any grain ... a popular
one for people who can't have gluten is "grain sorghum" (not "sweet"
sorghum). Again, you have to home malt the raw grain.
