Where to buy our honey

15 April 2022

Our honey is for sale seasonally at Three Mile Ridge Country Store. It's in Lethbridge on Highway 230 on the Bonavista Peninsula. You can't miss it when travelling from the Trans-Canada Highway to Trinity or Bonavista.

It's also sold by Levain Pastry, 77 Harvey Road, St. John's, NL. They have a superb selection of irresistible pastries that go well with honey. They also sell bread and confections. https://levainpastry.ca/
