Greetings Honey, Candles & Grape Enthusiasts!
Direct from the farm!
(click here for printer
friendly page)
That is the theme at Honeyflow Farm. In September,
if you visit our farm roadside market, you can pick
from more than 20 varieties of grapes!
You can fill your containers with honey from a 55 gallon barrel! You can purchase candles made from pure beeswax! If you come to our
farm & happen to see some guy standing around
with a camera talking about bees, grapes, winemaking & candles - this would be
me. If you purchase candles or honey from our website you will know that this is not like
doing business with an impersonal major retailer.
This is not Walmart - This is a family farm!
This is the August 2002 issue of our monthly newsletter.
Through our web site you can purchase candles and honey products
throughout the year.
To view past issues of our newsletter, please

Adding honey supers, Harvesting comb honey, Quick
Ways to Sweeten Every Meal, August honey recipe!
|
| |
We have just finished the final round of adding
extracting honey supers to all of our colonies.
Putting honey supers on in July involves a lot of
moving boxes around. Adding the supers will give the
honeybees a lot of room for them to store honey in.
Finish the story .....
We also start to take off comb honey in july
and usually continue every two weeks until Mid September.
By now the honeybees have stretched and added beeswax
to the combs we have inserted and have filled them
with honey. Click here for the
rest of the tale ......
Quick Ways to Sweeten Every Meal - Work.
School. Family activities. Chores. Everyone seems
to be "busy as a bee" these days. Yet,
despite the hectic schedules, Americans are committed
to providing their families with delicious and nutritious
meals. Keep a honey jar or squeeze bear within easy
reach on the kitchen counter or table. The rest of the story .....

Weed mowing, Preparing for fall harvest, Pictures
of vine & grapes, August grape recipe!!
|
| |
We were away from the farm for a week during July
and when we returned it was time to do some major
weed mowing. We also continued the operation of
tieing vines up & using soap bars to limit deer
damage. The grapes are increasing dramatically in
size and will be ready for harvest next month.
We are now preparing for the fall harvest.
Signs need to be repaired, our small sales building
needs to be cleaned & some minor painting, and
many other last minute preparations.
View the lastest pictures of our Cayuga, Delaware
and DeChaunac vines. We have been following them
all season and their grapes are almost full size now
and starting to change color. The Picture Story.......

Our Summer Winery Tours - St. Julian's & Blumenhof's
Vineyards!
|
| |
St.
Julian, Michigan's oldest and largest winery
has been family-owned and operated since 1921.
It produces over 40 fine wines and sparkling alcohol-free
juices. Our visit there was very rewarding, tasting
many of the wines from the same varieties of grapes
that we grow at our farm. Click here for details.....
Blumenhof's vineyards in Dutzow, Missouri, were established
in 1979. Beginning with the first vintage
in 1986, Blumenhof has been dedicated to producing
and bottling an unsurpassed selection of Missouri-grown
varietal wines. Click here for details.....
In our September issue we will highlight our
visits to Warner Winery in Paw Paw Michigan, Augusta
Winery & Mt. Pleasant Winery in Augusta, Missouri.
