About the Whispering Oaks Honey Family

At Whispering Oaks Honey, we’re more than just beekeepers—we’re a husband-and-wife team, who together with our four children operate a small, family-run apiary in the heart of Milam County, Texas. Our bees forage among native wildflowers and flowering trees, and the honey they produce reflects the beauty and diversity of the land we call home. We are proud to carry a legacy that stretches deep into Texas soil. Ours is a family of seventh and eighth-generation Texans, with family roots stretching across the vast and storied landscapes of this state. From American pioneers who fought at the Alamo and San Jacinto, Cheraw ancestors who journeyed to Texas by way of the Trail of Tears, loggers and farmers who worked the vast forests of the Big Thicket, to early German settlers who helped shape the Hill Country—our heritage is as rich and diverse as the honey our bees produce.

Our family has been keeping bees in Texas for well over 150 years. Beekeeping isn’t just a business for us—it’s mornings in the pasture, evenings bottling by hand, and seasons marked not by the calendar but by what’s blooming in the fields.
