Lake Granbury Honey

Details

We produce real Texas honey, the real Texas way. At Lake Granbury Honey, we’re raising honey bees in a responsible and ethical way, harvesting only the finest raw, local wildflower honey. We will never compromise or devalue our honey by blending from other sources or adding other ingredients. Honey is our passion, and this is our promise. Lake Granbury Honey currently manages over 100 hives in Hood County, including over a dozen on our 15-acre apiary and farm in Granbury. Lake Granbury Honey currently operates with 80 fruit trees, 8 raised beds, and a farm store front where we have partnered with local farmers and artisans to bring you a one-stop farm shop. We offer farm tours and educational classes focused on apiculture, sustainable agriculture, and native land restoration. Jan Nielsen - Owner & Partner. Jan developed an interest in honey during her tenure as a Registered Nurse in the US Army, where she worked in a burn unit. Part of the treatment regimen for severely burned patients involved applying a thin coat of honey over skin grafts, which significantly aided in the grafting and healing process. Jan's journey into beekeeping began 16 years ago when she observed a family friend tending to their bees. Starting with just two hives, Lale Granbury Honey now manages over 70 bee hives across eight properties. She specializes in Texas Wildflower honey and serves as a mentor for aspiring beekeepers. Jan lives in Granbury, Texas, with her spouse Dave Holland, and together they cherish their family of four children and 13 grandchildren. Mandi Cagle - Partner. Mandi has a Bachelors in Horticulture and is currently working on a Master of Science in Wildlife and Natural Resources with research in Propagation and Transplanting Texas Native Wildflowers. Her academic pursuits align with her passion for native wildflowers and cultivating produce varieties. She is in her third season of beekeeping and enjoys volunteering at local elementaries, teaching the next generation about honeybees and flowers. Mandi's overarching goal is to provide her local community with nutritious products while upholding her commitment to environmental stewardship. Mandi lives in Granbury, Texas, where she balances her roles as a devoted wife and mother of four children.
