Welcome
to our HONEYBERRY FARM website. My name is Brenda
Camp Hubbell, and I am a food technologist with
over thirty years experience in the food industry,
working for companies such as White Lily Flour,
Stouffer’s Frozen Foods, the American
Frozen Food Institute, Banquet Frozen Foods,
and Reily Foods, who owns the JFG brand known
here in East Tennessee.
In 1995 I had a dream and a flash of insight
that led to what is today a honey-based, 10-item
product line, most of which you’ve never
seen on your local grocery shelf! Moreover,
the road to Honeyberry Farm has been a joyous
growing and learning experience for my family,
many of my friends, and especially for me.
As
I pour my patented honey jellies into jars,
I still marvel at the beauty of the liquid jelly.
When my sister Connie Ford and I spoon honey
jelly from the jar for your tasting, we share
our delight of the jelly’s beautiful appearance,
and when you are tasting it in front of any
of us, your delight validates our work. We love
our honey jellies, and we love the business
of selling them to you!
When
we received our patent in 1998, Connie and I
began marketing the product wholesale to gift
and gourmet businesses. Some of our first customers
were Dollywood, Biltmore House, Callaway Gardens,
and the Opryland Hotel. In a little over two
years, we had customers in 10 states.
We
quickly learned the importance of tasting. I
can’t tell you how many times we heard,
“Honey Jelly? I’ve never heard of
honey jelly before!” Since this combination
of honey flavor and jelly texture is so incredibly
unique, the potential customer has to taste
it, (and then they buy multiple jars).
Connie’s
idea for also reaching buyers by selling at
festivals and fairs changed my life. Too shy
to welcome strangers to our wholesale booths
when we started, now, two years later, I even
have a road show - my bee and bear show- where
I parade around in my “queen bee”
outfit, passing out the samples of our jellies
that are still hand-made. (And passing out the
bee puns that my customers give me!)
Thank
you for your interest in Honeyberry Farm. Please
read “About Our Jelly” to learn
about our products, and the varieties we offer,
and don’t hesitate to contact us if you
have any questions that we haven’t answered
on this site.
On
behalf of the Camp family, I thank you for your
interest and continued support of our Honeyberry
Farm Patented Honey Jelly.
