The Austin Family Honey Company was started in the spring of 2008. Three of the Austin grandchildren, brothers Clay (11) and Eric (12) Carney joined forces with cousin William Austin (13) as partners in a business where they could demonstrate their own passion for the farming industry.
Interest in bee production began in 2005 when Eric attended a conference with Glenn and Tony in Nashville, Tennessee. He was mesmerized by listening to a bee keeper who gave a presentation on all the positives of raising honey bees. Eric's passion for bees continued to grow until 2008 when his grandpa Glenn finally presented the boys with 12 colonies of bees, and all the equipment needed to get started in beekeeping. The boys have a mentor who has over 30 years of experience. He works with them on a regular basis and also they can call him if they have any problems. The boys have continued their training by attending conferences on all phases of honey production. They have become quite proficient in their bee keeping skills and asked to make educational presentations to school groups and other groups that are interested in honeybees and their contributions to our food supply.
