A teenager's $1,000 wholesale order
Kyle Kanno was 17 in the summer of 2005 when a family road trip stopped in Durango, Colorado, and he bought a jar of whipped honey from a shop called Honeyville, the same name as his Utah hometown. His parents put up $1,000 on a credit card for a wholesale order, and he sold flavored whipped honey on card tables at the Box Elder County Fair and Peach Days.
By 2008 fuel costs made hauling honey from Colorado too expensive. The business switched to bottling raw honey from beekeepers in the Intermountain West, his father turned a workshop into a licensed commercial kitchen, and neighbors bought from an honor box on the front porch. The company moved into its first commercial space in Ogden in 2016, and custom honey wedding favors became a new line after a customer asked for them.
Which honey is from where
The honey sticks, in plain, wildflower and flavored versions, are labeled "Made in Utah" and "Manufactured with US Honey in Ogden, Utah by a family company." Raw clover honey, Utah wildflower honey and the honey bear favors are also packed in Ogden, and the light wildflower honey comes from an organic farm in Box Elder County.
The California wildflower and orange blossom honeys are the exception. Those pages do not say where the honey was produced. The company also sells beeswax candles, lip balm and its Honey Corn snack.
