OUR STORY

The Penateka were the southernmost band of Comanche Indians in Texas, and their name, "Penateka," loosely translates to "honey eater," reflecting their deep connection to nature and the sweetness of life.

In 2025, two teachers, driven by a shared passion for farm-to-table eating, founded a company named after this historic group. In their spare time, they immersed themselves in the art of apiculture, learning the craft of beekeeping. Their goal was to create a sustainable and flavorful approach to eating while paying homage to the land and culture that inspired their journey.
