It was normal to see honeybee hives scattered across the Nebraska landscape in the 1920's. Table sugar wasn't popular yet and farmers used honey as a sweet treat. Vernon Adee, our great-grandfather had a few hives on his farm and slowly fell in love with the art of beekeeping.

In 1948, Vernon moved his family to small-town Haddam, Kansas, and started a beekeeping operation selling honey to the locals. His kids Bob, Donna, Richard, Stanley and Veramae all helped out by working bees and harvesting honey. As beekeepers say they were �bit by the bees,� and they too fell in love with beekeeping.

Donna Adee married a Minnesota gentleman, Robert Brown, who moved to Haddam and started Brown Honey Farms in 1963. Robert and Donna rented land from local farmers to place their beehives for pollination and nectar gathering. 'Rent' was usually paid in golden honey.

Their three children Cheri, Bruce and Jerry all worked for the family operation and kept bees of their own. By the 1980's, Robert and his son Jerry had grown Brown Honey Farms into the largest beekeeping operation in Kansas. They commercially sold honey to packers who would bottle it and sell through stores like Krogers and Wal-Mart.

In 1992, Brown Honey Farms began transporting beehives to California for almond pollination over the winters. As Jerry took over the family business he began dreaming of a better use for the natural raw goodness Brown Honey Farms produced. With obesity and diabetes on the rise and all evidence pointing towards highly processed sweeteners, Jerry and his family knew it was time to offer convenient, healthy products made solely with honey.

In 2006, the Brown's partnered with Dr. Ron Fessenden to research the health benefits of honey and how it was different from other sugars. The results were so wonderful, that Dr. Ron went on to write four books (?) on the subject. It was learned that honey was not a simple sugar but should instead be considered a superfood. It's complexity, the number of nutrients, antioxidants, amino acids, enzymes, etc,. rivals even the world's best known superfoods.

The development of RevHoney, Inc. was the brainchild of Nate Brown, Jerry's son. RevHoney was founded in 2009 with one goal in mind: to innovate healthy products using only natural ingredients and nature's best raw honey

Today, the Brown family still runs one of the largest beekeeping operations in Kansas, with the majority of its golden raw superfood going straight into the RevHoney products. Together with their Adee relatives, the Brown family is part of the largest beekeeping family in the world; collectively producing xxx,xxxx,xxxx pounds of honey annually.
