Honey Roux - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Louisiana is dripping with unique culture and history. But
packaging up the images, icons and natural resources that come from
our land and its landscapes, and bottling and selling them takes a
special kind of talent. Casey Delmont Johnson is the designer
director of Roux Brands, a nine year old wholesaler of home d cor,
gifts and dinnerware. Roux Brands is based in Port Allen and
incorporates in its products a southern theme that tells the story
and the history of the Deep South. Roux Brands started out as a
smaller retailer in 2006 and over the years has evolved into a
wholesaler that now supplies more than 1,000 stores throughout the
Southeast. Casey is the creative force behind the brand. He is a
native of Walker and a graduate of LSU, who has experience in the
film industry, in marketing and with numerous style related
periodicals. Elizabeth Holloway is a beekeeper and the owner of
Bocage Bee and Honey, a homegrown brand that has earned raves in
culinary circles around the state. Making honey, which Elizabeth
does from a facility on Drusilla Avenue in Baton Rouge, is actually
Elizabeth s second career. She had a successful 40 year career in
opera and theater and fell into the honey business quite by chance
in the early 2000s. More than 15 years later, Bocage Bee and Honey
now produces as many as 20 different varietals of honey, as well as
a line of beeswax candles and soaps. Amd then there s the company s
newest venture moisturizing cream that employs the anti bacterial
properties of honeyfor the face and for your babay s derriere.
