I was reading an article which said we should consume local honey to tackle seasonal allergies. As…read moreit is made by bees from local flowers, plants and trees. Normally we buy the organic honey from Costco, which is mix of honey from different countries. This time we decided to buy local honey and I searched few local bee farms in GTA. I wanted to call and inquire before going. I called couple of places, no answer. Then I called Humbervalley honey, a well spoken gentleman answered the call. I inquired about the honey they sell. He said they sell Wildflower Honey and it is $13 for a 1 kg jar. Plus he said he is actually extracting a new batch. I decided to give it a try, so I went there and bought 2 jars. 1 for us and 1 for my fellow Yelper Karandeep. The transaction was fast and safe. He handed me nicely packed 2 jars while sitting in the car. He said they will be extracting honey till September if I need more for winter. It's been couple of weeks now and I love this honey. It is not too sweet( probably doesn't have added sugar). I will definitely recommend this place.

One of my favourite things to do on a Saturday morning when I'm at the cottage is visit the OSFM…read more Located in the heart of Owen Sound's bustling Downtown district, it's the place to be (if you're cool...like me) on a Saturday morning, especially in the Summer. While the market runs year-round, there are less vendors out during the winter season because the actual building they run the market out of is very tiny. The St. Lawrence market puts this place to shame size-wise, but this market has a more intimate feel, which is what buying local is all about, isn't it? In the Summer time, vendors line the entrance way and take up some of the parking lot (which can get quite busy/completely full with cars. Have patience..) which adds even more options for potential dinner(s). Tip: arrive as early as you can before everything runs out! They have: -A little coffee place that also makes breakfast sandwiches and small stuff like that -Organic and non-organic fruits and veggies -Organic meats including sausages (spicy, honey garlic, plain) lamb, beef, poultry, venison, bacon etc -Yummy goods baked by Farmer's wives -this is the real deal! (I recommend the German apple cake from the woman inside towards the back of the building, the tarts that are sold outside are also good too) -All sorts of plants (one guy there sells GIANT lillies) -Beeswax candles -Pottery, sculptures, art work, knick-knacks, etc -Sometimes there's a guy there who sells $20 bottles of olive oil who is a really good sales-pitcher. The oil does taste really good though. When you're finished over here, take a nice stroll downtown and check out some of the bookstores, or sit by the ravine in the shade with a coffee.

Items tend to sell out later on during the morning.

If you want REAL honey from a REAL bee keeper, this is the place to go. Alexandre has sold his…read morehoney locally for many years. He has an apiary out in the country and sells it from this store a few days a week (see hours - they're limited!) The label on his jars read "Royal Bee Castle" which is another name to which the store is sometimes referred. He has organic, non-pasteurized honey and honey products. Today, he had 3 varieties of honey, and he'll tell you exactly what plants the bees were visiting that resulted in each variety. This is not liquid (pasteurized) honey. It is semi-solid most of the year. In the fall, when it is first gathered, it is liquid for a short time. Pasteurization removes all the beneficial qualities of honey, and there are many. His online presence is practically non-existent, but here's one quote I found; "This honey is personally processed in small batches by professional beekeeper Alexandre Obnovlennyi. It is produced only from plant nectar, artificial sugar free, absolutely not heated or pasteurized...".

We ended up buying some homemade pies, a quiche, and few frozen steaks. We liked strawberry-rhubarb and raspberry pies, the quiche was ok, but we were really disappointed with steaks. We got NY strip loin beef steaks, a Ribeye bison steak and a lamb steak. The lamb steak was ok, but the bison and beef steaks were not cut properly and were quite chewy. Considering that the prices for everything in store are 50% more than in regular supermarket (see prices for steaks at the picture), we were clearly disappointed with our visit.

Cozy mead tasting on a rainy afternoon…read more Atmosphere: There was a small bar/farm store you enter at the front with some picnic tables outside. As it had rained all afternoon, we opted to sit at the bar for the mead tasting, which was cozy and seated 4 at the bar and another 2 at a smaller round table close to the entrance. The store had a variety of honey and beeswax products, mead, and even cheesecakes that were frozen. Experience: This was our first mead tasting and we were provided recommendations to try from their menu. We circled the choices we wanted to try and then they were quickly poured and carefully labelled and numbered for us to identify. The variety was quite good, with some tasting more fruity and others with a stronger honey taste. Service: The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, and were good at communicating with each other (as one was taking over for another and had to ensure people were paid up). Lovely mead tasting and would revisit for the live music performances on Sundays!

It's almost the same as the wine produced process, just this time was coming from Honey. Before we stepped out, there is a gift shop that we could purchase some honey products.
