100% of profits donated to Hives for Heroes — supporting veterans through beekeeping
Declaration Honey is a veteran-owned honey company in Champaign County, Illinois. We produce raw, unfiltered, local honey — and donate every dollar of profit to Hives for Heroes, the nation's largest veteran beekeeping nonprofit. Every jar you buy funds the next veteran's journey from isolation to purpose.
Our honey is hand-harvested, never heated above hive temperature, and strained only through cheesecloth to preserve every natural enzyme and trace of local pollen.
Every dollar Declaration Honey earns goes directly to Hives for Heroes, funding veteran beekeeping programs nationwide. Your purchase makes a real difference.
Founded by a U.S. Navy Gulf War veteran, Declaration Honey exists to prove that a veteran's service doesn't end when the uniform comes off.
"A veteran received a colony of bees from a fellow veteran. He donates every dollar those bees earn back to the organization that connected them. That is the Declaration Honey story — service, sustained by agriculture, multiplied by mission."
Our bees forage on clover, wildflowers, and the diverse flora of central Illinois, producing a light, mild-flavored honey with all its natural enzymes, pollen, and beneficial compounds intact.
Our first harvest is projected for summer 2027. Sign up to be notified when Declaration Honey is available — and get exclusive early access.
