Welcome to Crooked Creek Honey Farm
Taste the Heart of North Texas Honey
We’re a North Texas family farm sharing our passion for bees in two ways: through pure, local honey from our hives, and with expert, hands-on guidance to help you manage your own.
our products
Pure, Raw, and Unfiltered. Always.
Unlike most store-bought options, our honey is never heated or ultra-filtered. We simply strain it to retain all the natural goodness from the hive. This means you get a richer flavor, a more complex profile, and the pure, authentic taste of real Texas honey.
Our raw, unfiltered wildflower honey retains all the natural pollen and enzymes, delivering a pure, complex taste of North Texas.

The Right Foundation
Healthy Bees Make the Best Honey
The secret to incredible honey isn’t a secret at all—it’s starting with the best bees. We don’t use just any bees. We’ve carefully selected a special Italian/Carniolan hybrid queen with superior genetics from the nation’s top breeding programs, ensuring our hives are healthy, productive, and happy.
Gentle & Productive
Our bees are a special crossbreed, combining the excellent honey production of Italian bees with the resilience of Carniolans.
Naturally Resilient
Our queens carry the VSH (Varroa Sensitive Hygiene) trait, a natural defense against pests that promotes healthier hives.
Superior Genetics
We source our queen genetics from elite programs. This ensures our bees are perfectly suited for beekeeping in Texas.
