At Mondjack Apiaries our bees have been gathering nectar from the wild flowers and trees of the Lehigh Valley since 1980 and since that time they have been turning it into the most delicious Wild Flower Honey you have ever tasted. Our honey bees gather nectar from all of the natural wild flowers and trees so you can be assured our Honey is Pure and Natural! We invite you to try our “American” honey, produced by Pennsylvania Honey Bees. I think you’ll agree the flavor just wakes up your taste buds. I’ve been told by many of our customers our honey has flavor… not like the store brand honey. If you have any allergies to local plants, try eating locally produced honey….you may be surprised. It helps! Locally produced honey has small amounts of pollen in it from the plants indigenous to this area, plants that you may have allergies to. By consuming local honey with trace amounts of this pollen your body is building up a resistance to your allergy. Why not give it a try! It can’t hurt! Honey is natural and healthy for you!

Jeff Cercy has a family history in the military. He grew up as an Army dependent. His father spent 32 years as an Army Air Defense Officer and retired as a Major General doing tours in both Korea and Vietnam. After this exposure to the military and all the different places his father was stationed, Jeff joined the Marine Corps after college in 1982. Upon completion of his initial commitment, he moved over to Army Special Forces where he spent the majority of his 21 years serving part time in the National Guard, including a deployment shortly after 9-11 to Afghanistan for a year. His son is also currently in the Army and assigned to a Ranger Battalion and has been deployed a couple times to Afghanistan. In addition, his son served as a volunteer fire fighter in Boulder for wild fires and then in the Denver area for a few years. Jeff has a strong desire to help give back, increase the public awareness of what all veterans and first responders do daily, and to provide these “Heroes” with business opportunities where he can. This is the primary goal and reason for working with his partner to start American Heroes Coffee Company. He also is a leader for the Veteran Employee Resource Group at a large Fortune 500 company and volunteers at an Equestrian center for Veterans with PTSD.

Mack Daddy’s Inc. (Mack Daddy's Hawg Sauce) was recently started by my wife, my son, my daughter, and me. The purpose is to showcase products that have a special meaning to my family. The barbecue sauce for example comes from a recipe that has been in our family for about forty years. The name was changed and it is now called “Mack Daddy’s Hawg Sauce". I started out making this in my kitchen with a whole lot of help from my wife. It would take us three or four hours just to put the ingredients in the pot. I originally used this sauce as a promotional item for my sales business. Instead of handing out cups, mugs, pens, and calendars like many salespeople do, I handed out barbecue sauce and it worked for me. This sauce has been all over the world and I have gotten feedback from thousands of people for over twenty years. I can tell you first hand that most people love this sauce for grilling or dipping. About twenty five years ago I invented a cast iron double thick extra heavy duty blackening skillet/griddle called the “Bayou Blackener.” The trademark for that name lapsed and I was unable to reinstate it so we changed the name to the “Mack Daddy’s Blackener.” I sold thousands of these years ago long before the internet and people loved this product. It has now been improved because it comes pre-seasoned and ready to use right out of the box. And I’m proud to say that it is made for my company by Lodge manufacturing, the oldest and largest cast iron cookware Comments on the Military and Business Ownership It helped to teach me what I was capable of doing.
