Real Ingredients,
Real Flavor
‘Farm-To-Can’ is our modus operandi. We believe in the skills of the local farmer to create the best ingredients the land has to offer. In cooperation with some amazing friends and their farms, we are proud to use these ingredients to create our beverages. And, believe us, you’ll taste it!
Meet The Farmers
Let’s be real - it’s a no-brainer. Real Ingredients = Real Flavor.
Fresh strawberries right off of the vine? Yes, please. A skilled Bee Farmer harvesting the best around? For sure. Blueberries and blackberries bursting with flavor? No question. All while doing it sustainably and responsibly? That’s our kind of farmer!
Craig Bell, beekeeper, became interested in local, raw honey in 2001 to help his wife, Wendy, with allergies. After encountering a swarm of bees and consulting with a long-time beekeeper in Camden SC, he began keeping bees as a hobby, with just two colonies.
His colonies have grown so that he now tends over a thousand honeybee colonies scattered all over South Carolina!
