About Us
We are a beekeeping family located in the Willamette Valley in
Oregon. Our family keeps about 110 bee hives and we extract the
honey and gather the honey bi-products ourselves. We use
honey, beeswax, and propolis to create value added products like
lip balm, soap, cream, salve, and candles.
Dr. Charles Hunt started keeping bees over 30 years ago in
Alberta, Canada. After moving back to the United States, he and
his wife Katharine started the Clear Hills Honey Company in
Eugene, Oregon. They have both been active as board members
of the Lane County Beekeepers Association, helping the
organization to grow. They also assist at the local bee school
which is held in Eugene once a year. They sold honey at the local
Lane County Farmer's Market from 1997 to 2006.
Charles' and Katharine's son Andrew, and Andrew's wife Carmela,
have joined the business. They enjoy selling at the Farmer's
Market, and last year, Andrew helped with extraction, while
Carmela developed new high quality products for sale. These
include the soap, cream, salve, & lip balm shown on this site.
Carmela is also responsible for the development of this website.
You can see our family on the show Dirty Jobs hosted by Mike
Rowe on the Discovery Channel. Our episode is called "Honey
Harvester"!
We hope that you have enjoyed your visit with us! Thank you!
