Dale of S.O.Bees is back for his second season at AEM with delicious raw Applegate Valley honey, beeswax products, and a smile that's become a familiar part of our market.
One of the first things I learned about Dale is that he quietly notices what's needed. If something has to be moved or figured out, he's usually on it pretty quickly. And for the past two years, every musician who's played our stage has gone home with a jar of honey. What a sweet and thoughtful gift that says so much about our community to the regional and touring musicians!
His booth partner, Ritchie, crafts beautiful tone drums and loves letting people explore the sounds for themselves. Watching people discover his instruments has been a really fun addition to the market.
Thank you, Dale, for showing up every week, for sharing your honey, and for being part of this community:)
Find Dale and Ritchie on Wednesdays from 5–8pm during the Applegate Evening Market at The Lindsay Lodge, 15100 OR-238.
