Desert Creek Honey Co. was begun in 2004 by Blake Shook with only 2 small beehives. That number has now grown to over 200 hives, and should grow to over 400 hives by the end of 2009. Located outside the rural town of Blue Ridge, Texas, (which is about 1 hour North of Dallas) Desert Creek Honey (DCH) continues to thrive. Why the odd name Desert Creek Honey? This company is located in a small community called Desert, thus the name, Desert Creek Honey Co.

While many people in Texas claim to sell you raw, local honey, the number who actually do is extremely small. That's why I always extend the standing offer for anyone to come out and take a look at my bee yards, bottling facility etc. Remember, read the label when you buy honey. Just because some marketer trying to make a buck put 'local' on the label doesn't mean it is. One surefire way to see how authentic the company is, is simply give them a call and ask to look at the hives which produce the honey, and the facility they pack the honey in. You will be surprised how some of the major packers in DFW wouldn't let you come and take a look.

DCH is by no means a huge business which sells its honey in hundreds of stores across America. It is simply a small business with big plans. As the owner of DCH, I take pride in each product sold from DCH. Since 2004 when this company began, DCH only sold honey to local stores and markets. We realized recently that not many people outside of Texas have ever tried the pure, natural and unique flavor of our honey. We know that wherever you are from, you will love our honey, and other products.

Here at Desert Creek Honey we would love to have the privilege of selling you some of the world's greatest honey, but more importantly, we would like you to discover the huge importance of honeybees to the world and to each and every one of you. As honeybees are responsible for almost 2/3 of all fruits and vegetables produced, we should be more protective of God's most incredible insect.

Honeybees are in great danger. Not long ago, almost all wild honeybee nests were destroyed by a mite that kills the honeybee, and even now, the industry is facing new challenges with imported honey, new diseases, and corn syrup being blended with honey thus threatening the pure honey we sell. You can help by being committed to buying only local, 100% pure honey. And here we are committed to selling only the purest Texas honey. Support the industry. Buy pure honey.
