It’s almost Turkey time!

We have limited quantities, so get your orders in asap to reserve your bird.
There are 4 size ranges to chose from:
12-15lb

We won’t know final weights/prices until they are butchered, so just select your preferred range and we will contact you when we have the actual numbers.

Our garden veggies could be yours!!!

Our garden was slow to start but is now overflowing with goodies!

Nothing better than a fresh carrot in your kiddos lunch, or some bright pickled beets to snack on. Sneak a little zucchini into your next batch of muffins or spaghetti sauce (they’ll never know!)

We also have bags of frozen Saskatoon’s just begging to be turned into delicious jams and jellies or added into those zucchini muffins…

We also have tons of fresh free range eggs to make those mornings a little healthier :)

Oh, and of course we have honey!! The honey tap is still flowing for this weekend only, so if you missed out in August, this is your last chance! Otherwise our shelves are still full if your favourite creamed and flavoured honeys.

Come load up! Farm store is open Monday to Saturday from 9-5,

Where’s the Honey, hunny?

Are you looking to buy your favourite Gull Lake honey, but you aren’t able to pop into our Farm shop (which is open year round!)?

Well you are in luck because there are over 30 businesses that sell our honey!
Some locations are only open seasonally, where as some are open year round.

It’s through collaboration with other awesome businesses such as these that allows small businesses such as ours to thrive, and to get products to you conveniently and efficiently.

I highly recommend checking out all these spots and checking out all the other great products they have available too!

Tariff Troubles

In the last couple weeks we’ve seen a great outpouring of interest and support for our business and the beekeeping industry as a whole, as talks of tariffs loom over the Canadian honey market.

We can’t say enough about how much your support means, and how much we appreciate how you want to help.

And you can make a difference! Buying your honey either directly from the producer, or through reputable brands that contain 100% Canadian honey will strengthen the Canadian market and provide increased opportunities for producers to sell their honey locally, instead of needing to ship it.

It will be a while before we know the true extent of the effects of the tariffs if they remain in place (we haven’t even finished the 2026 honey harvest yet), but focusing on shopping local is something we can all be empowered to do in the mean time.

Our garden finally decided to release its bounty!

Store is open 9-5, Monday to Saturday.

We are super excited for the new trail the County is building right past our farm!
This new trail will connect from Anderson park (and surrounding communities) all the way to the summer village of Gull Lake and the provincial camp grounds.

Can’t wait to see all the new and familiar faces come past while enjoying the new trail!

With rain in the forecast for all of next week our crews have been working extra hard to make sure the hot room is packed - extraction for days!

Now honey pulling is in full swing - pulling crews head out each morning with empty boxes then switch them for the boxes that are coming home heavy.
