About Us

We believe in making life a little sweeter. As the leading procurer of honey in the U.S., Sweet Harvest Foods provides the highest-quality ingredients for some of the most iconic brands and beloved products. That’s a serious responsibility, which is why we keep innovating and setting higher standards in quality, taste and reliability. Sweet Harvest Foods is bolstered by its ownership of Nature Nate’s Honey Co., the #1 branded honey, and Nate’s Hives, a top five U.S. apiary. Join us on our mission to lead the honey industry by innovating from the hive to beyond the kitchen.

Nate’s Hives is more than a brand – it’s a movement dedicated to celebrating the honeybees, beekeepers and communities behind every bottle of honey. Led by our head beekeeper, our 67+ local beekeepers care for more than 3 billion honeybees across the United States. Nate’s Hives also supports nonprofit organizations through the Nate’s Hives Grant Program, helping schools, food banks, community gardens and other local initiatives. Learn more at nateshives.com.
