We are just another Texas family wanting to make a difference. Well, ok, we have a few more kids than the average perhaps! But we want our kids to grow up knowing that our actions matter, that helping others is ALWAYS the best way, and that they can actually make a difference in this world.
I grew up in a family where half of my uncles were family-scale farmers. I watched as one by one they were forced to sell their farms and find a new way to live after being crowded out by conglomerates. The focus of the 1990s was price point, and they simply couldn’t make it work anymore. My wife also grew up with a father who owned a small business shut down by cheap offshore pricing.
Fast-forward to 2017 where a new generation – my generation – understands that more than price matters. We want natural, pure, organic products again. Products like my uncles produced. But family-scale farmers like my uncles still have a challenge finding the right kind of buyer for their natural products.
That’s a big reason why we decided to start Go Raw Honey. Our vision is to build a space where other verified small family-owned apiaries in America can source their honey to people who know they are only going to get pure, raw, unfiltered honey made with care while helping support sustainable family-scale farming.
Thanks for wanting to be a part of this journey!

We will always sell only verified pure, raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized honey sourced from American apiaries. We hate the cheap stuff from China too! If we wouldn’t feed it to our own kids, why would we sell it to yours? You will always get real honey when you order from us!
By sourcing from small family-owned farms we are doing our part to support fair trade and sustainability. We want people to buy from us, a family-owned business, so why wouldn’t we also support other family-owned businesses? We always source from family-scale apiaries.
We believe that God doesn’t want us to make money just to take care of ourselves, but also others. For that reason, we will always commit a substantial portion – at least 10% if not more – of Go Raw Honey profits to domestic and global humanitarian work helping those in need most.
