Before I even finished my question the person who picked up my call, interrupted me, said that the question would have to be for the owner. One portion of my question was more technical, however, the other portion of my question was directly related to stock and availability in the store (this was the portion of the question I was able to finish asking). I was not offered a solution for getting in contact with "the owner" who "could answer my question". Quickly after that, the call was ended. Unfortunate, I needed a large amount of honey for a project I'm working on.

I finally get to try mead here. I've always been intrigued by it after years of reading about it in…read morestories set in old England. There are so many flavors here and they all sound so yummy. The tasting is great as you get to try the different types of mead. The tasting fee is waived when you buy a 375 ml or 750 ml bottle. 50 ml bottle is also available and just so cute and portable. So I learnt I prefer the sweeter mead like merry mead (original and usually out of stock), crabapple mead and plum mead (reminds me of Japanese choya). Other meads are the dry version and some can even taste like brandy or whiskey. There are also lots of honey here. It's a great place to get honey and honey based products and mead. You can also call to reserve mead or ask to be on waitlist for certain meads so that they can call you when it's ready. Then it won't be a wasted trip. Excellent service too. P.S you can bring back the empty bottles so that they can crush the glass and reuse it. And they will also return the $0.10 deposit. But they said to bring to other recycling depot if it's far out to drop it off at their shop.

My custom sandwich which sells for $7.99 has a thick slice of honey dijon ham, Havarti cheese, mustard, mayo, arugula, cucumber, fresh sprouts and tomatoes. You can choose any meat you want but a fresh ham can't be beaten. I often order a side salad and pick up a fresh-squeezed juice from the cooler. The Deli staff are very friendly and can take an order over the phone for pick up later. Proper safety precautions were taken, I saw them wash hands frequently and change their gloves. They had N-95 masks on too. I highly recommend them. I love the sandwiches and custom made pizzas there. Their pizzas are the best deal in town for a custom-crafted pizza. Reanna the deli manager makes a wickedly delicious Spanish Proscuitto, arugula, blue cheese and pear pizza. I love to throw one in the outdoor pizza oven as a quick and delicious meal. It is the best take-home pizza in town in my opinion.

The exterior crunch with the interior being soft and cake like leaving my taste buds with a taste of a mildly sweet honey...no notes!! The maple was also incredible but that honey donut...wow!!! You best believe I got another half dozen and packaged the goods in an air tight container to take back home with me to Texas so I can savor them until I come back to Vancouver. Incredible. Incredible. INCREDIBLE!! There was a line outside the shop however, don't let that change your mind. It moves fast and it's worth every minute of waiting. Trust me!

It does have a nice crispy crunch outer, but you can see how much oil there is to achieve that. But you don't eat donut looking for a healthy option - so with that in mind, my go to flavour is their chocolate Oreo.

I've been a fan of Marie's Bees for so many years now! Marisa has built an amazing business not…read moreonly selling honey-based products from her own bees, but providing education about the importance of bees. It's always a joy to see her booth set up at a local vendor show or farmer's market. And it's easy to order products from her website if I run out between shows! My favorite to order is one of her creamed honeys (my favorite is the Cinnamon). And at a recent Christmas craft show I bought her Gardener's Wax salve which has been wonderful on my dry skin this winter! I also love to grab a bottle of her fabulous Honey Oxymel as a gift for my mom, who uses it to make lovely salad dressings. I even took a cheese-making class from Marissa once, and hope at some point to have time to do it again! Marie's Bees is a wonderful, local, women-owned, family-owned business that I hope to "bee" able to support for years to come!

I attended a special Yelp cheese making class with Marisa at the Chuckanut Center. What a fun…read moreclass. Marisa is such a great teacher and host. During our class we learned the basics of making mozzarella cheese. Repetition always helps me learn, and in this case we were able to repeat the process a couple of times which really helped me feel confident in home-made cheese making. We learned how to check the process as we worked through to make sure things were progressing as they should. Knowing the steps and how the cheese should be looking was a big help. We learned how adding honey to some cheese varieties can provide an unusual and tasty addition. It was eye-opening to see how much milk makes this much cheese (no wonder cheese can often be expensive!) During our class, we made a couple of batches of farm cheese with fruit and herbs (from the on site garden) as well as a batch of mozzarella (some in balls and some in string cheese form). These are highly interactive classes with lots of opportunities to take part in the process. If you like learning and doing, Marisa's classes are the best!

I moved to Abbotsford from Vancouver (and Victoria) due to love and financial reasons, and the…read moretransition was NOT easy. This town (city?) is relatively static, difficult to get around in without a car, and besieged by strip mall after strip mall. There is very little character, although the west part of the town does have a lively ethnic community, and there is the true pleasure of shopping in various Asian and Indian markets for excellent ingredients. I live in the "historic downtown" part of Abby, which doesn't even have a proper supermarket. I discovered the Little Green Apple while trekking up S. Fraser on foot, and it's a true gem: reminding me of the various farmstands / shops in Keremeos, it's small, family-owned (from what I can tell), rustic-looking, and the prices on their produce more than reasonable--it's cheap! (Why would you ever pick up produce from a large supermarket, anyway?) The quality of the produce is great, with the source of it indicated by a sign, and you can tell they try keep it as local as possible. There are perhaps a few items they could use more of (more fresh herb variety, leafy greens), but you can walk out with loads of cheap, fresh fruits and veggies for a few bucks. They also carry some basic staples, a bit of dairy, baked stuff, as well as lovely local honey and jams. My favourite place in this dumb town so far.

And at $13.99 for a 1 quart mason jar they are not the best buy. Sorry Grandma but I do not agree with what I was told and should have saved my money for a better pickle.
