At Paper Mart, we’re always inspired by the passionate entrepreneurs we serve. Meet Nancy Serag, the creative force behind Honey & Hive Boards, a woman-owned business that began as an Instagram passion project in 2019 and quickly grew into a full-scale brand. From launching the “Stay at Home Board” during the pandemic to curating elaborate grazing tables and charcuterie workshops, Nancy has built a business rooted in connection, creativity, and community. For five years, she’s trusted Paper Mart’s kraft boxes, food-safe wraps, and signature yellow satin ribbon to bring her beautiful boards to life.
About Honey & Hive Boards
Tell us a little bit about yourself and your business! How did you get inspired to start?
Honey & Hive Boards started as a passion project in 2019. I only had the intention of starting an Instagram account to share inspirational photos of my boards. The account turned into a business almost overnight when people started expressing an interest in ordering my creations. My launch party for the business was on March 12, 2020, as the world was shutting down I was stocking up on 12″ boards and launched a product called the “Stay at Home Board”. Honey & Hive Boards blossomed during the pandemic as clients were looking for a fun activity to share with their families whilst stuck at home. As we moved out of the pandemic, Honey & Hive Boards shifted to offering larger scale grazing tables and charcuterie workshops. We’ve just celebrated 5 years in business and are excited for the growth our business has experienced.
Do you have any favorite creations that you want to share with us?
So many! It would be hard to choose just one!

Amazing write up! Thanks for this submit
This was a great article and marketing tool to see such a big business using your products. I buy your products but now I will look at it more closely. Specifically the reusable tote bag.
