Get to Know Us

established 2011

Creek House Honey Farm is an apiary specializing in producing delicious local honey and honey-based products to distribute to consumers both locally and all around the country. As a popular destination for residents of the Amarillo and Canyon communities, our farm is more than just the Panhandle’s local hub for raw, unfiltered honey. We also offer event rentals accompanied by the scenic landscape surrounding us.

It all started with a pumpkin patch.

The couple started out growing pumpkins over a decade ago when they were hit by the enticing idea to implement beehives into the mix to help with the pollination of their plants. Becoming more familiar with the matter, the Nesters developed a deep love for the practice. It didn’t take long for their apiary to develop into the full-blown beekeeping operation it is today, managing approximately 50 beehives during the year.

“Their honey is amazing! I'm not sure if it's because I'm local and like the flavor, but my whole family thought the same. We compared it with 4 other kinds of honey and it outshines them all. They have a cool little store with knick knacks and products. It's really interesting. Check it out if you're in the area. I'll update this review once I take the tour .”

"Hello! I absolutely love all of your products, and I just wanted to share this with you. My son had a large abrasion on his elbow that had been there for at least a week without healing. I started putting your healing salve on his wound, and it cleared up so quickly! The first picture is day 1 starting the salve, and the last picture is only 6 days later! Thank you for your wonderful products!"

"Hi! I wanted to share some results with you that I have had in just one day of using your healing salve! Two week ago today I suffered a second-degree burn from scalding liquid that spilled all over my right wrist. It was pretty nasty! While trying to keep it moist to prevent scabbing over the course of the last week (after the blisters popped and the skin was debrided) I developed somewhat of a rash as well! Similar to what I remember from when my kids got diaper rash. Anyways, I had forgotten that I had purchased some of your healing salve during our trip to the farm last summer! My son uses it for mild eczema. Look at the difference the healing salve made in two days!!"

"In the height of Covid back-to-school time in 2020, my then-kindergartner was asked to use hand sanitizer at least a dozen times during a typical school day. This soon wreaked havoc on her poor skin, as shown in the first picture. Her hands felt like alligator skin, were red and angry, and even cracked and bled (the little red dots are blood)! They hurt her so badly that it kept her from sleeping at night. My daughter was allowed to skip the sanitizer and wash with soap and water instead; however, her little hands just couldn't heal completely. Wanting some Creek House healing salve, which we would slather on at night, and some healing cream, which I sent with her to use after each hand washing at school. Her sweetie little hands healed up in the span of a week! Now I keep it on hand (ba-da-tss) for everything from a typical winter-dry skin to eczema to owies and recommend it to friends all the time for whatever ails. Grateful to support to a local business that uses healthful ingredients that actually work! Thank you, Creek House!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Can honey help with allergies?

There is a possibility that consuming local honey could help ease some of your allergy symptoms, but the scientific evidence supporting this claim is sparse. This claim comes from the widespread belief that the pollen present in locally sourced honey contains pollen from nearby plants which helps to desensitize an individual to pollen allergies over time.

It should be noted that most pollen that causes allergies is typically spread by the wind and carried long distances by air currents, not bees. The honey produced by bees contains only a minimal amount of pollen that lacks the allergens responsible for causing allergic reactions. Generally, allergens are stored in the proteins present in pollen, but these proteins often do not survive the collection, storage, and transformation into the honey process.

Some individuals have reported feeling relief from allergies when consuming honey, but this could be due to external factors or simply a placebo effect. It is recommended to seek out a specialist when seeking relief from allergies.

How is honey harvested?

Beekeepers are trained to identify when frames of a honeycomb have reached maturity and are ready to be harvested. The honey supers are carefully removed so as not to damage the brood chambers, which are where the bees live. The beekeeper will then gently brush or shake off the bees to avoid their bodies being trapped under the honey.

Now, extraction can happen. Using a hot knife or uncapping fork, the honey will be separated from the wax cappings in the honeycomb cells and placed in a honey extractor. In the extractor, the frames are rapidly spun to cause the honey to drip down the sides and collect at the bottom. Once a puddle has formed, the honey can be bottled or filtered then bottled. Methods of extraction will vary depending on the beekeeper’s preference and equipment.

When honey crystallizes, is it still good?

Yes! Crystallization is a completely natural thing that raw, unprocessed honey does. It does not mean it’s spoiled or unsafe to eat. It actually speaks to the level of purity! When honey crystallizes, it retains all the same health benefits as it did when it was freshly made.

How do I fix crystallized honey?

Crystallized honey can easily be returned to its liquid state by simply heating the jar in a warm water bath accompanied by occasional stirring. DO NOT MICROWAVE YOUR HONEY! Be aware that heating the honey to high temperatures degrades its nutritional value by killing beneficial enzymes as well as other natural components.

Some people prefer honey in its crystallized form because of its use in a number of different recipes and its spreadability.

If you are worried about your honey crystallizing, know that it is a completely safe transformation, but you can slow down the process by storing it in a cool, dry place.

Why does honey crystallize?

The natural sugary composition of honey, being made up of mainly glucose and fructose, is what causes it to crystallize.

Will honey go bad?

Fun fact! If stored properly in an airtight container and a cool, dry location, honey will basically never spoil. It might change in taste and texture, but it will still be safe to consume for thousands of years after it is produced.

Can honey heal wounds?

While not a universal solution, honey has been studied to have healing properties when used on certain types of wounds. We are not medical professionals, so we cannot give advice. If you are considering using honey as a treatment for wounds, it is best to consult with a medical professional.
