Our Story: A Century of Unfiltered Raw Honey
A packer of honey since 1918, Sandt’s is proud to be a family-owned business distributing quality honey products throughout the East Coast.
Where It All Began
In 1918, Sandt’s began with just four beehives. Our founder worked as a farmhand on the local Wagener orchard in Easton, Pennsylvania — a connection that gave him his first pollination customers and deep roots in the community. The road the company originally sat on still bears the Wagener name today.
Those four hives grew to over 400 by 1974, and Sandt’s became a hub for local agriculture, supplying equipment and mentoring new beekeepers across the region. In 1976, Sandt’s transitioned from managing hives to focusing entirely on processing and distribution, partnering with trusted beekeepers to bring quality honey to even more families.
From 2015 to 2025, the Torrillo family kept the tradition going before passing the torch to the Taylor family.
A New Chapter: The Taylor Family
In 2025, Sandt’s Honey found its next steward in the Taylor family — rooted in northeastern Pennsylvania for generations, with a decades-long legacy of building trusted, community-driven businesses. When the opportunity to purchase Sandt’s arose, it felt like a natural fit.
The Taylors aren’t changing the recipe or the process. Their focus is on strengthening what the founder started — keeping Sandt’s honey raw, unfiltered, and deeply connected to its roots.
Rooted in the Easton Community
The Taylor family has a long history of community involvement — from sponsoring local youth sports to partnering with area artisans and giving back through local food drives. When you buy a jar of Sandt’s Honey, you’re supporting local jobs and helping keep a century-old tradition alive in Pennsylvania.
"Sandt's has been part of this community for over a century. We're not here to change what makes it special — we're here to make sure it's around for another hundred years."

Unfiltered Raw Honey — As the Bees Intended
Most commercial honey is ultra-filtered: heated to high temperatures and forced through tiny filters to remove pollen and create a shelf-stable, crystal-clear product.
We don’t do that.
At Sandt’s, we gently warm our honey just enough to strain out wax and debris — nothing more. The result is rich, flavorful honey that keeps all its natural pollen, enzymes, and antioxidants intact.
If your honey crystallizes, that’s a good sign.
It means it’s pure.
Just set the jar in warm water and it returns to liquid. That’s real honey, exactly as the bees intended.
Looking Ahead
A lot has changed since 1918 — the faces, the locations, the world around us. What hasn’t changed is the honey, and that’s exactly how we intend to keep it. Over a century of earning trust isn’t something we take lightly. We’re grateful for every customer who has been part of this story — and excited for everyone still to come.
