...about our orchard honey

Honey takes on different flavours and aromas depending on what type of blossoms bees collect their nectar from. Honey is commercially distributed by collecting from various apiaries and mixing all of the honey together.

Our beehives are located in the midst of our own fruit orchard. Our bees exclusively pollinate our fruit trees, which creates a honey with a unique flavour and aroma by concentrating their nectar collection on the fruit blossoms.

We've infused pure fruit juice to our orchard honey. This creates an extraordinary and flavourful honey that can be used in many unique ways.

Here are some ideas for using fruit infused orchard honey...


  • as a sweetener for hot tea or iced tea

  • as a glaze for baked chicken or ham

  • try it in a martini - drizzle on top of chilled vodka or gin

  • use in baking instead of sugar

  • as a sweetener for hot oatmeal, granola, or your favourite cereal
  • on ice cream

  • great mixed into plain yoghurt

  • in fruit salad for some extra zing

  • and of course, perfect on toast or with a peanut butter sandwich!

Our flavours include sour cherry, strawberry, blueberry, blackberry, and mango. We also have a spiced honey flavour.



We are at the farmers market every Wednesday and Saturday!
