There is a powerful brand attribute that only great brands have. It is something that makes a brand honest, believable and enduring. That quality is authenticity.

First, let?s see how this authentic, natural brand got its start. There really is a Burt, and he really did keep bees in northern Maine. He sold honey off his pick-up truck and lived a simple life on land with 30 bee hives and a flock of chickens. He resided in a converted turkey coop.
