Episode 95 // Darren and Meagan Orsag of Leeco Honey

This week on the podcast we’re with Darren and Meagan Orsag of Leeco Honey in Lexington, Texas (pop. 1,178). What started out as a hobby has grown into a beekeeping and honey business with products that fly off the shelves and continues to grow. Darren and Meagan are sharing about teamwork, the importance of knowing your beekeeper, and their annual honey harvest and adopt-a-hive program.

You’ll love Darren and Meagan’s focus on community and how they are helping other beekeepers by sharing what they’ve learned. They plan to announce their next honey harvest dates soon, so be sure to go check out the show notes to follow along.

Something very important to us is being transparent from our hive to your table. We want anyone who buys our honey to understand where their honey comes from and how it got there, and also about the family behind it.

It’s important to move forward sometimes, even if you don’t have all the answers.

— Darren Orsag

I so appreciate this community of people in agriculture, especially women in agriculture that rally around each other and help each other out. So I’ve just learned so much from them and how they’ve told their own stories, and that’s certainly influenced us and how we tell our story. It’s not just about honey, it’s about the family behind the honey and the process and what it means to take care of a hive.

— Meagan Orsag

We need to be careful as a society not to lose sight of our history and our heritage with farming and ranching and honey production.

— Darren Orsag
