Our story

We are Honey and Bear and Newnan Georgia is where our story begins. If you want to hear the details, click here.. we met in 1996, married in 1997. We have had the joy of traveling to 48 of the 50 states. Jody is a minister of the gospel and we have enjoyed the life God has given us. We moved to Scotland in 2016 with our three children and we haven't looked back. We feel like we have lived a fairy tale-ish life and since 2016 we have lived in a fairy tale land. We are proud of where we came from and proud of where we live today. We are just so thankful to do this amazing life together.

Our history

Bear were both born and raised in Newnan, Georgia, USA. Honey moved to Newnan with her family when she was about 7 years old. Newnan has a special place in their hearts. It is known as the "City of Homes" There are homes that are dated pre-civil war.

When Jody was a child, he lived in one of those style homes. Next door was a small Grocery store, owned by Dad "Jimmie" Hodnett. There are many memories of Newnan for both Honey and Bear, but receiving the sign that had been stored for more than 30 years, renewed a desire in our hearts for family and community.

Our family

Honey and Bear is more than Honey and Bear, it is our whole family. We couldn't be who we are and we couldn't do what we do with out our amazing children.

We love being a family and doing things together. It is our desire that you will come to HONEY & BEAR for a full family experience, it's more than food, its family.

Our seasoning. rubs and sauce

From the Deep South to the queen of the south, we want to bring flavours that resemble our homeland. There is nothing like a Georgia Peach, Sweet Vidalia Onion or Sweet Iced Tea, so we combined them into our amazing BBQ Sauce. We have created a unique flavour that blends peaches and tea with a little bit of a kick.

Bear Blend is an amazing rub for your bris or beef stands good alone, but for those that like a sauce, Honeys recipe is the best.
