DUNKS HOT SAUCE A TUSCALOOSA COUNTY (FOSTERS AL), FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED, HOT SAUCE BUSINESS, TAKES PRIDE IN THE FLAVOR OF ALL THEIR SAUCES. THEIR MOTO “BOTTLED IN THE SOUTH, WERE SAUCE IS NOT A SIDE ITEM, ITS AN OBSESSION” IS THEIR TRUE BELIEF.

Bill Hewett is the owner of Hewett’s Honey Farm in Duncanville, Alabama. I was born and raised in the Tuscaloosa area. I began beekeeping as a hobby with no intention of turning it into a business. However, as the number of hives I owned increased, so did the costs of my hobby.

So I began selling some of my honey to help defray the costs of my hobby and I have learned that there is a large worldwide market for 100% natural honey. From there I concentrated on increasing our yearly production of honey while maintaining its natural purity. I currently own about 70 colonies of honeybees strategically located throughout Tuscaloosa and Hale counties and I have plans to increase that number in the future.

I am retired from the Plumbers and Steamfitters Local Union 372 and I am an ordained minister. I currently serves as the pastor of the Southridge Community Church in Duncanville, Alabama. I earned a bachelors degree in theology from Baptist Bible College in Graceville, Florida.

The Urban Food Project

Do you live in an Urban Food Desert?

Consider where you live. Can you buy fresh, skinless chicken as easily as ready-made fried chicken? Can you buy whole, raw potatoes as easily as French Fries or a bag of chips? Can you buy fresh tomatoes or only ketchup? If you answered no to any of these questions… you may live in a “Food Desert” even though you are right in the middle of Birmingham.

Food Deserts are large geographic areas with no mainstream grocery stores. Often, Food Deserts have ready access to fringe food, food high in salt, fat, and sugar. Many fringe locations also offer “quick meals” that are highly convenient but cannot support a healthy diet on a regular basis.

Food Deserts suffer worse diet-related health outcomes, including diabetes, cancer, obesity, heart disease and premature death. These effects are independent from other contributing factors such as income, race, and education.

What can we do about it?

Main Street Birmingham has commissioned a survey of Birmingham communities’ access to healthy food. The survey will be conducted by the Mari Gallagher Research and Consulting Group. Once the city’s Urban Food Deserts have been identified, Main Street Birmingham will pull together the resources to develop solutions, from public markets to community gardens. How can you help? Please take five to ten minutes to complete this short survey. We’ll be back in touch to let you know what’s next.
