Overview: Nestled in the heart of Orangefield, Texas, Hammered Honey Farms and Mead is a veteran-owned, family-run meadery that has been delighting patrons with its handcrafted honey wines since its establishment in March 2019. Founded by Kevin and Jenni Bryant, the meadery was born from Kevin’s passion for crafting mead—a journey that began as a team-building activity during his 18-year tenure in the U.S. Army. This hobby evolved into a full-fledged business, with the Bryants dedicating themselves to producing high-quality meads using locally sourced, natural ingredients.
Product and Service Highlights: Hammered Honey Farms and Mead specializes in a diverse range of melomels—meads fermented with fruits. Each mead is crafted using raw, unprocessed local honey sourced from just six miles down the road and fresh fruits, ensuring a natural and authentic flavor profile. With an impressive repertoire of 39 unique recipes, they typically offer around 20 flavors at any given time. Customer favorites include:
- #1 – Odin – Traditional Honey
- #2 – Bifrost – Strawberry/Blackberry/Blueberry
- #3 – Idun – Apple Spice
- #4 – Loki – Ginger Lime
- #5 – Freyr – Strawberry Lemon
Special Features: The meadery boasts a Viking-themed tasting room named Valhalla, reflecting the Bryants’ Scandinavian heritage. The interior features a wooden bar, communal tables, and a display of various mead flavors labeled with the names of Norse gods and goddesses.
