We had a great visit at Gull Lake Honey. There new building and set up was great to tour and the owners were great guides. Loved that they also combined with other family to do the bison tour, which was an added bonus. Thanks for the great opportunity to learn about the apiary business.

We had an absolutely wonderful day!! The staff were very pleasant and informative and the facilities were very clean. We went on an incredible Bison Tour tractor ride followed by a Honey Processing tour. The only suggestion I have is to possibly have a play area or separate activity for kids while the Honey Tour is being given to adults. It was unfortunate that we missed out on a lot of the information on the tour because most of the kids were being loud and undisciplined by their parents.

It was super fun!!! Very informative and tasty! I loved that they combined two farms so travel time was eliminated for double the fun!

Very enjoyable visit. The process of producing honey was well explained. We went on August 15, 2020,which was Alberta Farm Days. We had a bison tour at the same stop. It was also very enjoyable.

We loved visiting your farm. It was nice to see where and how our honey is produced. It was very well organized and had that family run feel. We would definitely recommend a visit! Thanks

What a great day! The bison tour, sitting on hay bales on a wagon being towed by a tractor through a bison paddock. Such fun, and beautiful bison! And bison babies! Then to the honey tour, what an operation, from beehive to finished product. And so delicious! I’ll be sure to go back next spring for the spring honey...so tasty!
