After the film we do a honey & food pairing. If you plan to have snacks or lunch at the farm, save some room for these sweet honey treats. We will have a look into a real beehive. Spencer Marshall will open the hive, show you a frame of bees & hopefully find the queen bee so you can meet her. He will pull a frame of honey from the hive so that you can experience tasting honey right out of that beehive. A demonstration of honey extracting and bottling will follow. You will fill a small jar with a selected honey & you will take that home with you, A tasting of up to 25 of our Marshall's Farm varietal honeys will follow.
After the tour, you will have an opportunity to have us bottle honey for you to purchase, to shop in our little country store or to have us make up a special gift basket for you.
