Hi folks!! Just a bit of bragging to do!
For those of you getting some of our honey during the last pop-up……I am happy to inform you that you purchased “Award Winning Honey” as I entered the The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto this past week. I took a 3rd place in the “Golden” category (golden thanks to all that goldenrod I have been telling you all about).
Attached you will see pictures of my honey from over a month ago as I chose the perfect batch for competition. It took over a month to clear it up, remove all the bubbles and you will see my final entry in the pic with the Royal stickers on them. Honestly, next year I will have to start preparing earlier as the “Honey competition” is as much a beauty pageant as it is for color/taste/smell etc.
Entering this thing, I was hoping for a “participation” ribbon kind of like the one I always got as a kid playing hockey lol. Needless to say I am ecstatic about the bronze lol.
And don’t worry……I will not raise the price of the honey come Xmas and will only bore you with bee and honey talk for the few minutes it takes for you to pick up your purchases. Unlike my wife and daughter who hear it every day and are about to build me a shed to live in out back😜
The actual
Fair opens in a few weeks and you may get to see my entry if passing through the honey competition area.
