It started with two hives on our family’s land in Tontitown, Arkansas.

Everything since has been the same idea: do the work ourselves, do it right, and put our name on the jar.

the bees

From two hives to semi-loads of bees.

With a mentor’s help, two hives on the family land grew into a commercial beekeeping operation, and semi-loads of our bees traveled across the country. We learned the trade the way it has to be learned: in the yard, in the heat, one frame at a time.

We are particular about what goes into every jar.

the facility

Infused, whipped and barrel-aged, under our own roof.

Today we infuse pure raw honey with fruit, flowers and peppers, whip it until it spreads like butter, and age it in bourbon barrels, in our own honey bottling facility in Tontitown. The facility is SQF certified, every honey product we make is OU Kosher, and there are no allergens in the building.

The same facility makes honey for other brands: their recipe or ours, under their label. Wholesale and private label is how shops and food brands work with us.
