Thames River Melons - Melon Blossom Liquid Honey


A new vendor at the Square One Farmer’s Market, or at least this product is new, Thames River Melons from Innerkip, Ontario, makes honey from melon blossoms. Melons is one fruit that requires bees to pollinate, so it’s perhaps a match made in heaven business-wise (pollinate your crop and sell the honey made from that). I don’t know what I expected this to taste like, melons?, but it is a good tasting honey, with a light flavour that is pleasant.

I recently discovered local honey being sold at our farmers market. It is SO much better than anything from the grocery store!

In some cases even, it's a mixture of honey and white sugar, the store ones, I mean.

Is it really? That totally explains why the store ones tasted so sugary sweet compared to the farmers market one.

I've heard things... Talk to your honey vendor. And ask yourself why they honey in stores is so inexpensive, compared to buying from the Market.
