Fresh Ontario produce bundles, great selection of dairy, honey and other tasty treats! Friendly and helpful staff who answered my many questions! I also bought some of the Cherry Mead to try, delicious!

What a great little place! Great owner too! I suspect mead drinks will be the new 'cider' very soon!

Employee that waited me was very pleasant, gave me a lot of information about what they do as a brand, as well as detailed information on the product I was looking for. Definitely worth visiting.

After passing this farm by many times on the road, I finally made the trip into the little market. I was so excited to see the wide range in local offerings such as dairy, eggs, cheeses, etc. (Especially since the Milton farmer's market isn't on during the winter) The raw honey I bought was a very reasonable price and had a great taste and texture. The Mead I bought was equally delicious. I tried both the blueberry session brew as well as the cherry. (To note, this is my first time trying Mead) my only regret was not coming here sooner! I will definitely be returning!!!

My girlfriend and I were enjoying a nice fall day and were on our way home after getting pumpkins and treats for other places in the area. As we were driving I noticed a sign with the words “honey” and “mead” written in chalk. I was so happy because mead is hard to come by in Ontario and I love the stuff. I slammed on the breaks and turned the car around to check it out. This place was awesome! A very cool find with lots of great things for the table. We ended up buying a bottle of honey wine two cans of original and two bottles of blueberry mead. We came home eager to carve our pumpkins and taste this local mead. And to be honest, we weren’t too impressed. Let me preface this by saying I’ve had quite a bit of mead in my short time on earth but by no means am I an expert. We first tried the blueberry mead. After a sip or two we noticed it had an odd flavour, almost like chemicals. I’d compare it to the smell of a shoe store. Same for the cans although a little worse. Last we had the honey wine. I know some wine makers fortify there wine when they don’t reach there desired alcohol content but this one had a very strong spirit taste, almost like vodka. To be honest I’m really not that upset because we had a really nice experience. And I know brewing and wine making can be a fickle lover, where you can do everything right and for some reason it doesn’t turn out the way you’d plan. Having said all that I would highly recommend to go and see for yourself and just enjoy the place. I’ll be back soon or maybe next year to try the next vintage !!
