Karen Sandusky Mosholder woke up one spring morning in 2011 with an idea she had quite literally dreamed of. She started making honey cream spreads in her country kitchen — a recipe inspired by her family — 18 jars at a time, using honey she harvested herself. Those first batches became Bumbleberry Farms.
Karen spent years taking her spreads and honey to fairs and festivals throughout Pennsylvania, where people told her the flavors reminded them of their childhoods or family

Karen spent years taking her spreads and honey to fairs and festivals throughout Pennsylvania, where people told her the flavors reminded them of their childhoods or family gatherings. Her own family helped care for the bees, haul goods to markets, and label jars during the holiday rush. In 2023, her son, Jon, a deaf advocate and entrepreneur, took over the company and moved it from rural Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh. The small-batch spreads are still made without preservatives, the way Karen first prepared them in her kitchen.
