Sweet Harvest Foods to Showcase Category Leadership and Innovation at Retail Brew Summit

CEO Michael Carle will share how the company is investing in the infrastructure, science and scale to transform the honey category

CANNON FALLS, Minn., May 28, 2026 – CEO Michael Carle of Sweet Harvest Foods, the largest producer of raw, unfiltered honey and parent company of Nate’s Honey and Nate’s Hives, will join a fireside chat at the Retail Brew Clicks, Bricks & Everything In-Between Summit in New York City on June 3. The one-day event will bring together brand and retail decision makers to discuss omnichannel strategies that drive conversions and unify every step of the customer journey.

Carle will join Retail Brew senior editor Andrew Adam Newman for the conversation “From Shelf to Scroll: Building a Modern Retail Loop.”

As the number-one branded honey in the U.S., Nate’s Honey has successfully converted in-store success into digital discovery and built repeat purchase loops across platforms, unlike any other brand in the honey industry. During this session, Carle will offer an in-depth look at the strategy behind this growth and what comes next as the largest seller of branded honey in the country.

“Nate’s Honey continues to raise the bar for what category-leading innovation looks like,” said Carle. “Consumers have been telling us hot honey fits in their lives, and we’re listening. I look forward to discussing the brand’s expansion into new occasions and how we’re building retail strategies that meet consumer demand beyond the shelf.”

Nate’s Honey brought in 600,000 new households last year, leads the category in growth and repeat purchases, and is the number-one honey brand among millennials and Gen Z. Building on that momentum, Carle will also discuss how Nate’s Honey Minis have become a playbook for developing new formats that fit into consumers’ lives, and the channel strategy that followed.
