about us

Good Flow Honey Co. is a family business with three generations

currently involved. We started in the 1970’s with two hives that

multiplied into hundreds of hives over the years.

Bee locations have mostly been in and around Austin with some of

our best locations given to us by the late, great Papa Max Bachhofen

along the IH35 corridor between Austin and New Braunfels.

Back in the 70’s and 80’s sales centered on food buying cooperatives

and small health food stores which sprang up around the University of

Texas. Our market has expanded over the years but our approach is

pretty much the same: good product quality and good, respectful

service keep us going.

Our bee yards had their own varieties of flora and nectars which

produced the honey (s) we like and crops which usually average over

100 lbs. of honey a hive. Now we’re buying a lot of honey from other

beekeepers, and try to stick to varieties with the qualities we like. We

are Acacia people; we like the desert brush and tree honeys like Cat

Claw, Sage, Huajillo, Vara Dulce, Mesquite and Bee Brush. It’s ironic

how such rough land and its flora can produce some of the most

delicate, light, thick and frankly, some of the best honey in the world.

And no one is spraying it with insecticides or other chemicals! The

Wildflower we package comes from a variety of sources. We also have

white Clover from Montana, Orange Blossom, Avocado, and Vidrillo (Ice

Plant) because they are different, and interesting. We hope you find

them enjoyable as well.
