A look back to our very first Honey Harvest Festival, held on September 10th, 2016
Le festival Honey Harvest vise à promouvoir et à soutenir les apiculteurs locaux et les entreprises vertes, tout en sensibilisant le public sur les pratiques et les produits apicoles.
Joignez-vous à nous dans le chantier naval Avon Spirit, situé le long du front de mer historique de Newport Landing, pour rencontrer les apiculteurs, les artisans, les vignobles et les brasseurs locaux. Renseignez-vous sur les meilleures pratiques pour soutenir les ruches saines et choisissez la reine des abeilles dans une ruche de démonstration. Le Lydia et Sally Café seront de nouveau à servir un menu inspiré du miel, alors apportez votre appétit et rejoignez-nous comme nous célébrons nos polinisateurs préférés!
Cet événement est gratuit pour le public et il n'ya pas de frais pour le stationnement ou l'entrée.
