Jerry Logan, along
with his wife, Jo, own and operate Honey Hill Farms located in
Edmond.
The couple claims
three sons, Mark, Barry and Chris, along with zillions of bees.
You have been:
“Oklahoma Beekeeper of the
Year in 2003 and President of the OK State Beekeepers' Association
from 2004-2006.”
Former career before
beekeeping: “A teacher at
Millwood School.”
We can purchase your
products at: “Stores mostly in OKC,
but at four grocery stores in Edmond, two health food stores, two
gourmet shops, feed supply houses and five different health food
stores in Oklahoma City.”
What makes your
regional honey so good: “I
don’t know; I don’t have a thing to do with it. It’s what the
bees collect.”
A famous person you
kinda look like: “Gomer Pyle
[of The Andy Griffith
Show].”
Cook: “I don’t
cook; I’ve got four wheels.”
Essential tool in
your own kitchen: “My can
opener.”
You’d never eat:
“Squash.”
But love: “Sweet
potatoes with honey on it. I have honey every day, even on my cereal
in the morning . It is so nutritious and is such a good replacement
for sugar.”
Personal motto: “Do
your best.”
People don’t know:
“There is nothing. I am an
open book. Jo and I, we will have been married 49 years on the 31st
of May.”
You met your wife:
“On a blind date in Duncan.”
Die and come back as:
“Myself.”
Where you like to
eat: “Coolgreens and
LaBaguette. After a recent heart attack, I stay away from fast food.”
What happens outside
that makes you happy: “I like
to see the flowers blooming, because I like to see the bees sitting
on them.”
A real disaster:
“When you pick up a hive and
it comes apart and the bees just cover you.”
Plus: “One
time I was pumping honey and forgot about it for a few minutes. Well,
it overflowed on everything and it was a sticky mess.”
Good advice for using
honey: “You can put it on
burns or cuts as bacteria will not live in honey. It is really
healthy.”
