Visited here today. Well stocked shelves with all sorts of honey themed items. Hubby and I tried the mead tasting which is $10. We took the tasting plate out onto the veranda which had a lovely relaxing outlook . The lady serving us was very informative and friendly . I was spoiled choice they all tasted delicious!! Also tasted honey and honey based spreads. The Jarrah was definitely our favourite.

Such an interesting place that sells a huge variety of produce based on honey. The staff are lovely and helpful in explaining all the different products and it really is worth going in person just so you can see (and sample) their ample range of product. If you do happen to be passing by then swing by and have a look, it won’t take long and you really don’t know what you’ll walk away with (in the best way!)

Well worth a visit. They produce some great honey products including mead. Mead tasting paddles are $10 and worth trying. Owner is pleasant and always happy to chat. Cool to see the hives too.
