About Us
In 1997, our family business started with 16 hives. Aaron and Shannon both grew up in business working with bees alongside their parents, Henry and Sara. In 2000, the expanding business was named Sun River Honey and the honey house was established on the family farm near Grandora, Saskatchewan, Canada.
After many years of beekeeping, we saw a need to learn how to export our bulk honey to the USA. We sold our bulk honey for many years but we were frustrated to see our beautiful white local honey being used to lighten liquid honey blends. We knew it just needed to be handled properly to really show it's amazing natural creamy qualities.
We added a packaging line to our facility and spent over a year on research to perfect our handling methods, creating a proprietary soft and always spreadable creamy honey. This allowed our local honey to shine and gave our customers who loved creamed honey a softer, more spreadable version.
In the fall of 2019, our company transitioned out of primary production in order to focus on packaging, and infusing our local honey.
Because of our many years of beekeeping, we also saw a need to give back. We implemented a Pollinator Pasture Program that plants 1 square foot of pollinator pasture for every retail jar sold. Through this program, we have been able to provide our customers with delicious, healthy and spreadable honey as well as improve the health of pollinators.
