Our History Browning’s Honey Co., Inc. had its beginnings in 1921 when a young Elmer Browning embarked on his lifelong adventure of beekeeping. Working for a local beekeeper, he acquired his first hives and immediately set about making his acquisition grow. Joined in business a few years later by his father, Lee Browning, father and son kept the fledgling enterprise thriving through the difficult times of the Great Depression and WWII. In 1932, Elmer married Grace Mikesell, who became his lifelong business partner, and always worked at his side. Joined from time to time in business by various friends and family members, and holding down second jobs when required, Elmer and Grace remained at the forefront of the business and continued to expand whenever they could. By the late 1950’s, the business had grown to a size where the couple could no longer operate it alone. Their son, Merle, just out of the Air Force, brought his new bride, Wendy, and returned to Idaho Falls to work with Elmer and Grace. Merle worked the bees, Grace extracted the honey, Elmer made creamed honey, and together, family members helped to package the honey for sale. Elmer operated several delivery routes throughout Idaho, Utah and Wyoming.
