About Us
ABOUT CROOKED CREEK HONEY FARM
OUR FAMILY, OUR FARM
In 2012, what started as a simple fascination with bees and environmental stewardship blossomed into Crooked Creek Honey Farm. We built our family-run farm on principles that matter: sustainable practices, honest hard work, and a personal connection with every customer we meet.
Passionate Beekeepers
Russell and Lisa are more than just honey producers; they are devoted stewards of their bees. Their hands-on approach covers every step of the process, from managing the hives to bottling the final product. This passion is the secret ingredient that makes their local, raw, unfiltered wildflower honey a favorite among customers.
BEEKEEPING SERVICES & SUPPORT
Ready to start your own beekeeping journey? Need a little help managing your hive? Lisa and Russell are passionate about sharing their knowledge and are here to support you. After the honey harvest season, our focus shifts to helping fellow bee enthusiasts. We provide hands-on support and services to help you build and maintain healthy, thriving colonies.

The Team
MEET YOUR BEEKEEPERS
Meet Russell and Lisa Dittfurth, the dedicated owners and beekeepers of Crooked Creek Honey Farm since 2012. Their work is guided by a deep respect for the honey bee and a commitment to responsible stewardship of the land. They believe in letting the bees work their magic, which is why their honey is always raw, unfiltered, and harvested at the peak of freshness to preserve the authentic taste of Collin County. This commitment to natural processes means every bottle is a true reflection of the local Texas landscape.
Beyond the farm, Lisa and Russell are active members of the North Texas local food community. They focus on in-person connections, selling their products directly at farmers markets and festivals where they can meet their customers face-to-face. They believe that knowing your beekeeper is just as important as knowing your honey is pure. They invite you to stop by, ask questions, and learn firsthand why so many locals trust them for the finest honey in the region. Check out the events calendar to see where they'll be next!
