Zach & Zoe Sweet Bee Farm on 'Shark Tank': What is the cost, who are the founders and where can you buy their raw honey
As people are growing increasingly health-conscious, many have cut out sugar, gluten, and carbs from their diet. If you're someone with sweet tooth but also a health-nut then you may have tried out several sugar alternatives like stevia, monk fruit sweetener, dates, and even xylitol. But nothing comes close to the sweet and nutrient-dense raw honey. Although there are several honey sellers in the market, sadly most of them sell processed honey. If you're in the market looking for raw, unfiltered honey, then one of the pitches on the upcoming episode of 'Shark Tank' may interest you.
Episode 7 of 'Shark Tank' Season 13 will feature the Johnson family making a pitch for their raw, unfiltered honey called Zach & Zoe Sweet Bee Farm. If you're curious to know more about this family-owned honey business that has managed to make it to the list of Oprah's favorite things in 2020, then read on. The Johnson family will be pitching their product to Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, Barbara Corcoran and Guest Shark Daniel Lubetzky.

What is Zach & Zoe Sweet Bee Farm?
Zach & Zoe Sweet Bee Farm sells 100% raw honey sourced from the Johnson family's own apiary. The honey is sustainably sourced from over 3 million bees using a bee-first mindset. The brand claims to sell all-natutal 100% raw honey that is free of any added sugars, wax, or pesticides. "Zach & Zoe Sweet Bee Farm isn’t just a business, it is a project of passion that was started to care for our own family. We produce our honey on our rural Hunterdon County Farm to meet the unique nutritional needs of our children, so you can trust that we pour our heart and soul into every jar we make. We like to think that our bees are the happiest bees on Earth. At a time when the honeybee population is in rapid decline, we maintain an environment where bees can flourish. Our bees happily collect their fruit nectar from a blend of naturally occurring wildflowers, just the way they did centuries ago. This results in healthier, happier bees; and of course, the finest honey on Earth," states the brand's website.
Who are the founders of Zach & Zoe Sweet Bee Farm?
The Johnson family aka- Kam and Summer Johnson and their two children Zach and Zoe are the founders of the family-owned brand. The family was inspired to get into beekeping and eventually selling the raw honey due to the Zach, the youngest Johnson family child. When the Johnson family moved to Hunterdon County from Montclair, Zach's seasonal allergies worsened. "We searched for a number of remedies to alleviate his allergic reaction which significantly increased in the Spring and Fall seasons," the family explained on the brand's website. The family then stumbled upon raw honey as one of the natural treatment options for Zach's allergies. "We read about the many benefits of local, raw honey and that honey can help prevent allergies through a concept called immunotherapy. It’s a process that strategically exposes your body to the element you are allergic to, which over time should make you less sensitive to it. In this case, raw honey, named this because it has not been filtered or heated, contains pollen and the body becomes more tolerant of pollen, thus reducing your allergic reaction."
"We noticed a huge difference in Zach’s allergies, and at this point, were frequents to the local beekeepers where were purchasing raw honey from. This led to our increasing curiosity about beekeeping and as a family, we would spend our weekends immersing ourselves in beekeeping books. After months of research and coaxing by our local beekeeping friends, we decided to take the plunge and officially start our journey as beekeepers BUT doing it the right way. No pesticides. No additives. Just PURE, RAW HONEY from bees that we value, nurture, and love," they added.
