Chippewa Takes First Place!

CJ and Terri’s Chippewa Honey was honored at the Beltrami County Fair, winning the Blue Ribbon for first place and the Purple Ribbon for grand champion. Furthermore, the honey was judged to be so good that it was placed in the “Court of Honor”. The judge said it is the first time that honey was ever awarded the Court of Honor and was very impressed with the quality. Needless to say, we were pretty proud of our bees, and at this moment they are back to work preparing for next year’s fair. The abundance of basswood trees provides a good supply of fragrant, nectar producing flowers and a honey which is light in color, delicate and mild, with warm herbal notes and a clean finish.
