Hays Manor

Home of the Hays Clan 

of East Texas

Welcome to the Manor

Where the Spirit of the Past Lives On.

Rooted in the wild and fertile lands of East Texas, Hays Manor is a living testament to a legacy that stretches back to the Celtic and Norse clans who shaped our world. We honor our heritage in everything we do, from the way we raise our boys to the warm hospitality we offer to all who cross our threshold.

Life at Hays Manor is a lively blend of chivalry and good-natured mischief. Like our ancestors, we strive for excellence in all things, and we never miss an opportunity for laughter.

Sarah and Clyde, licensed falconers, share their home with a magnificent cast of characters: red-tailed hawks soaring to the glove, a majestic fold of Highland cows, horses galloping across the pastures, chickens clucking contentedly, goats bleating merrily, quail adding their unique calls to the chorus, and industrious bees creating their golden treasure.

From this bounty, the Heathen Beard Company and Vinland Meads were born. Using the finest bee products, we craft beard oils and balms that pay homage to the rugged elegance of our forebears. And with Vinland Meads, we revive the ancient art of mead-making, brewing honey wine in the traditions that have connected generations for centuries.

Visit Hays Manor, and step into a world where the past and present intertwine, where the spirit of adventure and the pursuit of a life well-lived are celebrated every day.
