I judged meads at the AHA first round in Chicago weekend before last. The
top mead was a Cranberry Blossom Mead. It had a wonderful aroma and a
tartness to the flavor. Both derived of cranberry honey. I got some
cranberry honey about a year ago from a farm in Darlington, Wi, just south
of Mineral Point. He attends the Madison Framer's Market on the square,
Saturdays in Madison. I get to Madison quite offend. He has Cranberry
Blossom, Clover, Wildflower, and (I'm not kidding) Mint. His name is AJ
Howery, email is lahowery(a)mhtc.net, phone number is 608-776-2443. I will
be down there Saturday, 31 May. I will bring back honey for anyone who
wants some. His prices are up this year. One gallon = 12 lbs = $24. Five
Gallons = 60 lbs = $110. Chris Hadden, what is the going rate at this
years MN farmer's market? If anyone wants honey from AJ, email me before
Thursday, 29 May, and I will call AJ Friday for pickup on that
Saturday. If you are ever in the Madison area, he will work with you to
deliver.
