As the first U.S. honey packer to achieve the True Source Certified® stamp of approval in 2011, Barkman Honey has led the charge in combating illegal and adulterated honey. We are committed to a transparent and authentic supply chain.

Our state-of-the-art lab is the most technically advanced in the industry. Each of our dedicated team members is trained in food safety and defense, and is vigilant about performing regular safety and quality audits. The raw honey we receive from our producers goes through comprehensive testing, including antibiotic and pesticide detection.

We’re the first U.S. honey packer to achieve and maintain an SQF Food Safety and Quality certification. As the only system to ensure both food safety and quality criteria, this certification provides a product specification which must be in compliance for every batch of product – or we won’t ship it.

We take measurable actions to support our goals of reducing our environmental footprint, including these science-based efforts that are a part of the larger Thesis initiative, which brings retailers together to work toward more sustainable food supply chains by minimizing or avoiding emissions throughout production:

• We commit to reducing our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030 from our 2023 base year, a 6% annual reduction.

• We commit to reducing our Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030 from our 2023 base year, a 3.6% annual reduction rate.
