Nature Nate's Honey Co. is the #1 branded honey company in the United States, headquartered in McKinney, Texas. Founded by Nathan 'Nature Nate' Sheets, the company specializes in 100% pure, raw & unfiltered honey with a mission to provide the highest quality product while giving back to communities through their 'Honey Gives Hope' program.

The Beekeeper's Story

Nature Nate's Honey Co. was founded in 1997 by Nathan Sheets, who started with a single backyard beehive as a post-honeymoon hobby. He later purchased North Dallas Honey Company and began bottling honey from his garage, eventually committing to the business full-time in 2010. What began as a small passion project has grown into the nation's leading brand for 100% pure, raw & unfiltered honey, with manufacturing facilities in Texas and Georgia and distribution across the U.S., Canada, and Asia. At the heart of Nature Nate's is a 'grow to give' philosophy — the company operates its 'Honey Gives Hope' corporate giving program, partnering with organizations like the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Seed Effect, I Am Second, and The Samaritan Inn. In January 2022, founder Nathan Sheets sold the company to Sweet Harvest Foods as part of the Blue Road Capital portfolio, though the brand continues to operate under its established identity from McKinney, Texas.
