Day 27 -- Honey and Wine and Honey Wine

Today I visited the Dancing Bee Winery and Walker Honey Farm near Rogers.  This Honey Farm has been in existence for at least three generations, but probably a decade ago they added a gift shop and then later a winery to their business.  While I've known it was there all this time, I had never taken the time to go out and visit the shop.  So today I needed some honey to take with my disgusting apple cider vinegar drink and decided to go there to get it.  I was quite surprised at the size of the shop, the variety of things they had in it--mostly made from honey-- and the gift items they carry.  They must have raw honey from 15-20 different "sources"--mesquite, wildflower, various berries, a variety of grains, and even avocado.  You can taste them all, but after about 4, I couldn't distinguish them as well so settled on the local wildflower honey.  I found out that you can take in your own container, and they will fill it with your choice of 5 varietal honeys.  I'll do that next time I need some.  They have homemade honey soap and other products that have either honey or beeswax in them.  They also have a large selection of Texas olive oils.  On the other side of the shop, they have their wines, and this winery has lots of varietal meads to choose from.  They also have a smaller selection of grape wines and have a vineyard growing on the property.  I did not find out what kind of grapes they are growing there.  If you find yourself on Highway 190 between Temple and Cameron, you should treat yourself by dropping in.
