2012 Honey Sales

We should have fresh honey for sale in a couple of weeks!

Our honey is a clover/alfalfa blend which produces a white honey with a mild flavour. We do not process our honey more than what is required to get it into containers. It is kept at natural hive temperatures or cooler at all times. Prior to filling containers the honey is allowed to settle which lets large particles (mainly wax) float to the top of the honey tank. We then pass the honey through a screen to remove any last wax and bee bits. It satisfies the requirements for "raw" food, as far as I know.

If you come out to the farm to pick up honey, it may still be liquid so be careful the containers don't tip over on your way home! By the beginning of September, most of the honey will have started to crystallize into its natural state (the liquid honey you buy in the supermarket is heat-treated and filtered to retain its liquid consistency).

2012 prices are:
7 kg (15 lbs 7 oz) $38.00
3 kg (6.6 lbs) $22.00
1 kg (2.2 lbs) $9.00

Farm Gate sales are Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday - anytime. BUT please call in advance to make sure we're not down at the creek!

The season is a bit late this year and we are not yet extracting. We anticipate having honey available near the middle of August, about two weeks later than other years.

As usual, we will be delivering pre-orders to the HLSA Not Back to School Picnic in Edmonton in September so for those homeschoolers who would like to receive their honey then, please let me know in advance.

Our prices for the 2011 season are as follows:

     7 kg    $37.00
     3 kg    $21.00
     1 kg    $  8.50
     500 g  $  5.25
