Preserve: Honey Festival

Yahara Bay Distillers will host a Honey Festival on Saturday June 29 from 11:00AM to 5:00PM as part of the larger Preserve Festival taking place over June and July benefitting FEED Kitchens.

An outdoor market will sell foods and products made from honey or inspired by the preservation of bees.  Spirits made with honey will be sampled and on sale: Honey Gin by Natural Spirits, Aronia Berry & Cherry Liqueur & Domeloz Honey Spirit.

The Wisconsin Honey Queen will make an appearance from 11:00AM to 3:00PM and will lead hands-on projects.

The Honey Festival is inspired by Yahara Bay Distillers’ two-month Preserve Festival that will take place June & July.  The Festival elevates summer bounty that can be preserved for future months by curing, distilling, or fermenting.

Preserve Festival draws attention to FEED Kitchens, a food start-up initiative that fosters economic development through local farms, growers, chefs, food carts and more. 

Throughout the two months, Yahara Bay will host a variety of special food-themed events that relate to preservation and that are open to the public. For more information call 608-275-1050.
