Thank you Cathy for sharing Ed’s story:

 

My friend,Ed Malin, gave me permission to share this beautiful story of how the name of his honey came to be. Ed is one of my fav peeps and his ranking just went up several bars…..such a great touching story..please read..and go buy some honey at Angies Subs Official Page written by Ed Malin….

Back in my teenage days I spent a lot of time at The Faver Household. Kevin Faver and I were pretty tight, and still are. Kevin’s older brother Keith and I are pretty tight now.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Faver treated me like one of their own. I was always welcome. And The Faver House had a really big pantry that always had lots of food in it. Much different than the pantry in our house.

 

When I would show up, Mrs. Faver would almost assume I was hungry, because I usually was. “Edward Honey, are you hungry” was usually one of the first things she would say to me. She spoke with a southern slow sweet kinda drawl, a Palm Valley drawl. I can still hear her voice. Nothing was more important to her than her kids, and I was kinda like one of them.

 

I started beekeeping the year Mrs. Faver passed, two years ago. So about the time I was searching for labels for my first jars of honey was around the time I went to her celebration of life service.

 

Sitting in Keith’s yard surrounded by friends and family that day I could hear Mrs. Faver’s voice saying “Edward Honey, are you hungry?” And I knew right then what I would name my honey.
