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 a family farm!
This is the November 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

November in the vineyard, Clean up time, Netting
removal, New style training system, November Grape Recipe
|
| |
I would like to thank all the visitors at our farm
this fall season. It has been a very different year
- quickly selling out of many varieties due to the short
crop caused by spring frosts. We were not been able to
press as much juice for winemakers as we usually do. It
has also been a very rewarding year, talking to many interesting
customers and making plans for the future. We have
decided to plant some more vines, such as concord, vignoles
and also a new vine called Frontenac, a red wine for winemakers.
A Few days of hard freezes in mid October has made the
vineyard look quite different. Click here for
more frost pictures .....
It is now clean up time in the vineyard. All the
bird scaring devices such the audible alarms & balloons
come down and the bird netting gets removed and rolled
up on to tubes. All the honey and material in the sales
stand gets packed away. Now if you want honey and candles
you can still get them from our on line candle shop. Click here
for more bird netting picures .....
We are also converting many of the rows on the east
end of the vineyard to Geneva Double Curtain trellises.
This system allows us to train the vines differently.

The honey harvest! November Honey Recipe
|
| |
The Harvest is
under way! In September we started to take part
of the honey crop off. Usually I am busy just keeping
up with honey sales at our roadside sales stand and our
wholesale outlets. After the vineyard closes in mid October
I return to the bee yards to take the rest of the crop
off. The honey is removed much like we harvest comb honey,
with a bee blower and my trailer. See comb honey harvest pictures ......
In October/November it is very challenging
removing the honey crop and getting it extracted.
The size of our honey operation (about 150 colonies) is
usually termed a sideline (or part time) operation versus
a full time commercial business (1000 colonies or more).

story ......
