Minutes from the Elora Gorge Conservation Area, on one of the most pristine stretches of the Grand River, Doug Eiche has carefully nurtured a small grove of linden trees to feed the bees in one of his apiaries. He has spent the last 34 years in search of ways to gently influence the flavours of honey produced by his colonies.
Amy Strom owns and operates Strom’s Farms with her husband, Channing, and their two teenage sons. The 80-acre farm is nearly 4 decades old and boasts pumpkin patches, a 12-foot corn maze and even a bakery – though it’s perhaps most well known for its sweet corn. Since buying the farm from her in-laws in 2006, Amy and her family have been proudly committed to maintaining the highest standards of freshness.
