OUR STORY

After his service in the Army, Van (pictured left) was introduced to beekeeping as a means to help with his PTSD. This ignited an intense focus and passion for bees that developed after a few years of exponential learning. Van imagined what has now become the Van Houten’s Honey Shack. Fast forward 10 years, the Van Houten’s Honey Shack maintains 100 hives across northwest and midwest Indiana.

HOLIDAY SPECIALS

HEALTHY INDIANA HONEYBEES

All of our beehive locations have been carefully planned to ensure optimal bee health. We consider things like sunlight and shade times, nearby flower sources, and nearby water sources, to name a few. All of our beehives are located in northwest and midwest Indiana.

Featured Products

100% RAW HONEY

After extraction, we let our honey filter naturally via gravity to allow any wax and other debris from the hive to float to the top. This top layer is skimmed for returning to the bees. What remains is 100% raw honey—the healthiest type of honey. Our honey is then bottled and ready for your enjoyment.
