Listen to “Robbie Shoults Bear Creek Barbecue shares their Good News” on Spreaker.

It all began in 1943, as a dream of Hick & Nellie Shoults. A dream to have a business the whole family could share in-both the responsibilities and the joys!
From their little farm in Bear Bottom, nestled in the Piney Woods of East Texas, they started with just a few Turkeys, a small little Smokehouse… and a whole world of dreams yet to be realized!
The year was 1943, and the country was at war. Times were tough during those years, but the dreams and aspirations of Hick & Nellie were very much alive! Their son Bobby, then a toddler, was beginning to help Hick feed and tend to the Turkeys as well as do other chores around the Smokehouse.
As the years passed, Bear Creek Smokehouse grew from its humble start… And so did its reputation! The smoked Turkeys that had fulfilled the seasonal orders from the local grocers and Agriculture Extension office were enjoyed so much that the word spread! Year after year the demand grew for a greater selection of delicious smoked meats! Finally Hick, Nellie and Bobby made the decision to cease raising the livestock and purchase what they needed so they could concentrate their efforts on running the growing Smokehouse!
In 1959, Bobby married his sweetheart Brenda and brought her home to Bear Creek!
Brenda eagerly cherished her new role in the growing family business, cheerfully answering the seasonal calls and taking orders for the ever expanding list of smoked meat selections that Bear Creek now offered through a catalog!
Then in 1960, Bobby & Brenda welcomed Robbie to the family! This also marked what would become the next phase of remarkable growth for Bear Creek! As the years passed and the Smokehouse expanded into larger facilities, Robbie grew up receiving a first hand knowledge of the business and he began to form his ideas of what direction to take it!
In 1990 Hunter was welcomed into the Bear Creek Family! As he grew up he gained a first hand education in Smokehouse 101!
Even though Bear Creek had a significant wholesale business in place, Robbie yearned to take it to the next level. He & his bride Tracy continued to forge the growing business, complimenting it with several Holiday Gift Shows around the country. These shows met with overwhelming popularity and the business continued to grow over the next few years!
Hunter grew up, opening the door to the modern growth for Bear Creek! He turned his attention to leading the company, along with his new bride Stacia, into the next era of Bear Creek’s expansion… Fundraising!
Now, with Hunter & Stacia’s kids, Cooper & Barrett…The Fifth generation and future look bright for Bear Creek!
From our humble beginnings to todays 43,000 Sq Ft facility with our wide array of products… It has Always Been About Family & Quality… Always Will Be!

Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture Lisa Boucher

Listen to an interview with Lisa Boucher on Spreaker.

Raising the Bottom: Making Mindful Choices in a Drinking Culture

by Lisa Boucher, RN

Lisa is bringing audience awareness to the fact that people quarantined are feeling more and more disconnected, which causes them to turn to substances.

Moms who are expected to home to school & work are finding themselves more stressed-out than ever. People who may already have drinking problems are drinking more because they are alone and alcohol gets delivered to their homes with the click of a mouse or a tap of an app. Lastly, people in new recovery who don’t have a sober network may not even realize zoom meetings were an option and many have relapsed. Calls to The suicide hotlines have also increased significantly.

So, where do we go from here? In this Book, Lisa Boucher offers hope. Hope that any of those in your audience that may be struggling with alcohol and addiction can read this book and know that they’re not alone during these trying times. Within these pages, your audience will be able to examine and become aware of their own behaviors during this time, identify any problem areas, and stop any destructive patterns before they have a chance to take the audience from a place where they can stop to a place where they feel helpless to do so and feel they have no place to turn.

Here’s the thing… It’s not our fault. We live in a boozy culture, and the idea of women and wine has become entrenched.Is your book club really a “wine club”? Do you crave the release a drink can bring to cope with anxiety, parenthood, the pressures of being a mom, a wife/partner, a professional? In Raising the Bottom, mothers, daughters, health professionals, and young women share their stories of why they drank, how they stopped, and the joys and rewards of being present in their lives once they kicked alcohol to the curb.

Please see the short video created by the author, here.

Addiction & Recovery

“[Boucher] demonstrates that alcoholism is a disease that doesn’t discriminate by income level, education, or gender. Contrary to the thinking that women have to lose it all before making changes, she hopes that, by reading her book, women can recognize and deal with their potential alcoholism early on. Highly recommended.”―LibraryJournal (STARRED REVIEW)

Lisa Boucher a registered nurse. For the past twenty-eight years, she has worked with hundreds of women to overcome alcoholism, live better lives, and become better parents. Raising the Bottom is her fifth book. She was prompted to write raising the Bottom when she realized after twenty-plus years of working in hospitals, that doctors and traditional health care offer few solutions to women with addiction issues. She is the mother of twin sons and lives in Ohio with her husband.
