Content provided by Nature Nate\u2019s <\/a>Raw & Unfiltered \u200b<\/a>Honey<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Nathan Sheets never dreamed one hive could turn into a business success story. Nature Nate\u2019s Honey Company started as a post-honeymoon hobby for Nathan Sheets and his wife Patty. Twenty years after buying his first beehive, the hobby has flourished into a booming honey business with global sales and a commitment to betterment of communities and families across the US. But it wasn\u2019t an easy start.<\/p>\n

After losing his long-time advertising job, Sheets realized he couldn\u2019t support his family with the part-time honey business he ran.<\/p>\n

With encouragement from Patty, Sheets mustered the courage to bring his \u201cno name\u201d honey to Wal-Mart. Relying on his belief and his wife\u2019s encouragement, Sheets approached Wal-Mart and within weeks, Sheets had a single sale that would cover the cost of living for an entire year.<\/p>\n

Encouraged and energized by the sale, Sheets continued to grow his honey company. The past seven years have exceeded Sheets\u2019 expectations, with new manufacturing facilities in Texas and Georgia and the company\u2019s first retail store in Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cFive years ago, we bought 200 pounds of honey. Only a short time later, we\u2019re buying 25 million pounds of honey and we have become a top brand in honey. The only thing this can be attributed to is God and faith,\u201d Sheets tells Guideposts.<\/p>\n

Sheets points out that that God doesn\u2019t shower believers with money or material reward. Instead, hard work and commitment is integral to the rewards they then turn back into helping as many people as possible.<\/p>\n

Sheets says that the Nature Nate\u2019s business is driven by more than a single bottom line: \u201cWe measure success not just by what we achieve, but also by what we contribute and how we work with others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Honeybees are by nature great at working with others: they are cooperative and build strength from team work. Sheets says that Nature Nate\u2019s is nourished and grown because like honeybees, they work together well and share the many blessings granted to them.<\/p>\n

Honeybees are an interesting metaphor for Sheets\u2019 life. He never dreamed of a starting a honey business. But from an early age, he imagined how he could use his resources to sweeten the world and make it better for the people around him.<\/p>\n

Sheets\u2019 college nickname, \u201cNature Boy,\u201d inspired by his love of the outdoors, fishing and exploring the beauty of nature developed into the company name, Nature Nate\u2019s. Sheets\u2019 affectionate nickname made sense for the company he leads with unwavering respect for nature and the people around him.<\/p>\n

A devout Christian and former missionary in countries around the world, Sheets says that his experience doing mission work influenced his approach to the honey business. He continued this mission work well into the early years of Nature Nate\u2019s. He traveled widely in Africa, sharing his faith and supporting ministries in Sudan, Kenya, Rwanda and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

Despite the everyday challenges of running a large organization and supporting so many, Sheets\u2019 core of mission work remains central to how he runs his honey company today.<\/p>\n

While his days of frequent mission trips are now replaced with leading Nature Nate\u2019s, the company is committed in everything they do to the mission of serving others and to the betterment of families and communities across the US, and works actively toward that mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod brought me on this journey of making a difference in people\u2019s lives,\u201d Sheets says. \u201cWhen I started Nature Nate\u2019s full-time, I had the same motivation that I had when I was doing ministry: wanting to make a difference for eternity, wanting to make a difference in people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, Sheets says, he runs Nature Nate\u2019s in a way that aligns with Biblical principles, encouraging Nature Nate\u2019s employees \u201cto share a core belief and think of other people as more important than yourselves.\u201d <\/p>\n

Sheet\u2019s team coined \u201cHoney Makes It Better\u201d and it is essence by which they live. For the people of Nature Nate\u2019s, honey is a natural replacement for sweeteners containing high-fructose corn syrup or other fillers. At the same time, \u201cHoney Makes It Better\u201d means that Nature Nate\u2019s can use its resources and profits to treat employees well and reinvest in the betterment of people across the US.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe pay double the Texas minimum wage and we pay time off for employees to take mission trips and I\u2019ll match whatever money they raise,\u201d Sheets says of his business practices.<\/p>\n

Sheets developed a national program under Nature Nate\u2019s called \u201cHoney Gives Hope\u201d to fund important initiatives supporting women with breast cancer, impoverished families, educational advancement and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoney Gives Hope is more than just a corporate giving program. It\u2019s a philosophy that we put into practice every day and a way of giving back \u2014 both locally and globally,\u201d says Sheets.<\/p>\n

This Mother\u2019s Day, for example, in lieu of an expensive marketing campaign or other investments into the company, Sheets decided to instead have a direct, positive impact on women and mothers around the country. Program facilitators coordinated generous donations to ten shelters that serve and protect victims of domestic violence and work to prevent the abuse and neglect of women and children.<\/p>\n

\u201cHoney Gives Hope is the heart of Nature Nate\u2019s and allows us to put a priority on taking care of families and helping those in need,\u201d says Sheets. \u201cWe let the bees take care of making the honey. We take care of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

This care for community stems from Sheets unwavering commitment to bring in staff that will lead the business and mission by treating others the way they want to be treated, pulling from the familiar Christian adage. It is the core value system on which he leads Nature Nate\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lord has blessed us so we can be a blessing to others,\u201d Sheets says. Nathan Sheets makes sure this goal is reached every day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
