2019 Honey Contest Winners

Wow! We had an amazing Honey Harvest Festival!

There were 24 entries into this year’s contest, and there wasn’t a bad one in the bunch. Dan and I personally tested each one as we poured them into the sample jars. We had a hard time picking a favorite, and when you see the results of the public voting, you’ll see that our taste-testers did too! We’ve never had ties before…nor have the first and last place entries been so close together. Congratulations to all who entered. It made the festival so much more fun!

Without further ado, here are the results from this year’s taste contest!

Saturday Winner:
TIE! Tara & Jeff Hahn and Jeannine Babcock

TIE AGAIN! Tara & Jeff Hahn and Kelly Hopcia
