Our Values

Will business always be an amoral stampede for profit? Or will justice ever factor into the bottom line? That choice is ours. As our community, we hope you hold us to our founding values…

Drew's Honeybees: Do Some Good

  • We measure success by our effect on our community– customers,
    employees, farmers and laborers, the Earth, future generations, owners,
    and, of course, the honeybee! They put food on your table. All the best
    food too–fruit, veggies, nuts, and beans! We dedicate 20% of net profits
    and much time, thought, and sweat to honeybee, research, education, and
    advocacy.


    We believe business can improve human and ecosystem health. We strive for kinder, sustainable business for the health and happiness of all.

  • Drew pointing at Bees in honeycomb

  • Hands in earth

  • We began as beekeepers. Our experience underlies our gratitude toward farmers, laborers, vibrant ecosystems, and sustainable agriculture. Our partner farmers manage their plots of earth as ecosystems and treat their laborers justly. Together, we empower the human drive to better oneself, family, and community.

    We will not make untrue and exploitative claims. We will relay credible science honestly. We respect you and value science.

We see a path apart from the dishonesty and harm in body care–a path that respects the intellect, wellbeing, and finances of our customers.
