January 04, 2026  •  Leave a Comment

Hidden Honey Farm is located on Highway FM 1387 in Waxahachie, Texas and five minutes down the road from Midlothian, TX. It is a family-owned, small-scale farm known for its welcoming, down-to-earth atmosphere and commitment to local agriculture. On any given day, you will see fresh produce placed on stands such as honey, farm eggs, pullet eggs, apple butter, seasonal produce, and handmade goods, often sold directly from the property.

The farm reflects a slower, more traditional way of life, emphasizing hard work, sustainability, and personal connection with customers. Surrounded by open land and rural scenery, Hidden Honey Farm has become a familiar stop for locals who value knowing where their food comes from and supporting a homegrown Texas business. 

Recently, Hidden Honey Farm was highlighted in Living Magazine and featured in the news, bringing wider attention to the farm and its community-focused values. In 2025, the farm sold Christmas trees for the very first time, and early in the season, the trees were selling quickly. After a few weeks, however, sales unexpectedly slowed to a stop, leaving the farm with more than a hundred unsold trees. Rather than letting them go to waste, Hidden Honey Farm chose to give the remaining trees away, turning a difficult situation into an act of generosity that reflected the farm’s strong commitment to helping others and supporting the local community.

On the land sits an old Apache 10, which most commonly refers to a vintage Chevrolet Apache 10, a classic American pickup from the early 1950s-'60s and part of the first generation of Chevrolet's C/K series truck line. This truck was known for its light-duty trucks and donned a distinctive features of a wrap-around windshield, classic dual headlights, and a simple boxy body.

Many Apache 10 trucks originally came with inline-six engines (like a 230 ci or 235 ci six-cylinder) paired with a manual transmission, though some restored or modified examples have later engines or V8 conversion. The Apache 10 is prized in the classic truck community for its nostalgic style, simplicity, and connection to mid-20th-century American automotive history. Many owners use them as show vehicles, weekend cruisers, or cherished garage-kept classics.

These trucks were primarily driven by working Americans, especially farmers, tradespeople, and small-business owners who needed a reliable, light-duty pickup. They were valued for their durability, simple mechanics, and half-ton capacity, making them ideal for farmers and ranchers, tradesmen and laborers, and small business owners. 

The Chevrolet Apache 10 trucks were made from 1958 to 1961. After that, Chevrolet stopped using the Apache name and introduced the C/K series of trucks instead. They made this change to give their trucks a more modern look, with smoother lines and bigger windows, and to simplify the naming system—C stood for 2-wheel drive, K for 4-wheel drive, and 10 for a half-ton truck. The change also helped Chevrolet keep up with other truck makers who were offering more comfortable and stylish trucks. So, the Apache 10 wasn’t discontinued because it was bad or unpopular; it was replaced to make trucks that were easier to identify and more up-to-date for the time.
