Honey Extraction
Honey is extracted using state-of-the-art equipment and placed in 55 gallon barrels for tranport to the bottling facility.
What started out as a hobby has grown into a business that is growing to meet current and future demand for locally produced 100% pure Sand Hills honey. In spite of the national financial crisis unfolding in 2008 , the business formally opened with a fully licensed honey processing, bottling/packing and kitchen facility located at 101 West Rolla, Anselmo, NE 68813.
We believed that our 100% pure and LOCAL Nebraska honey was a commodity that people wanted. According to the National Honey Board, total U.S. consumption reached 410 million pounds in 2010 according to USDA’s Economic Research Service
The U.S. per capita consumption of honey is around 1.3 pounds per year. Honey is imported in order to meet total demand. In 2010, the share of imports in U.S. honey consumption was approximately 61 percent.
Chandler’s Sandhill Honey is now sold in locations all over Central Nebraska, at local markets, select farmers markets and local events. We try to keep the list current on our website, Our success as a business is possible because our 100% pure Nebraska honey is an honest product that is bottled in a fully licensed facility.
