Being trans I still feel nervous entering unfamiliar areas, but I was made to feel welcome even before I entered. Jana is AMAZING, we talked honey, she discussed the cosmetic products they offer. I had a honey straw in the car from a variety which she wasn't familiar so we traded. Their Lemon infused honey is OMG DELISH. Jana even taught me something I didn't previously know how the lighter color honey is early season and darker honey is later in the season. Thank you for the education, I love honey and learning something new is always a big +. I will most definitely see you again next time travels being me to KC.

Last I heard, they eliminated MSG from all brats and links. They usually have whatever you want and will tell you when and where they'll have it. The products are in stores and farmers' markets but you can actually go see the farm, watch the chickens roam, and buy products at the same time. They are honorable folks that clearly love to bring their great food to the community.

This honey is the real deal. What do I mean by real deal? Can bees play poker? Blackjack?…read more Maybe. But my point is that this stuff is good. Found either roadside near Odessa, Missouri, or at the Kansas City Farmer's Market in downtown KC (3rd stall, the honey stall, look for the plaque), it is unfiltered (except for legs and stuff), gravity drained, unheated, wax in or wax out, sold in honey bears or gallon jugs, wildflower or non-wildflower. They also sell pollen but to that I cannot attest. The thing is, Liz and Bob Harrison, have been doing bee stuff for a long time. If you talk with them (they are friendly), you will soon find out that this bee thing is no happenchance, flash-in-the-pan operation. I've tried a lot of local honey, Coopers, Ambrose, and this stuff is the most raw you can get. Here are some prices at the farmers market, but they usually go up a little year after year. They may even mail-order if you call or email them (busybeeacres@discoverynet.com) Prices as of 2008: 12 oz. bear $ 3.00 - 3.50 1 lb. $ 4.00 - 4.25 24oz. $ 5.00 - 5.50 2lb. $ 6.50 - 7.00 3lb. $ 9.00 - 9.50 gallon milk jug. $ 28.00

I visited Busy Bee Acres' stall at the City Market on a Saturday morning (I believe this is the…read moreonly morning that they are there), after having been in email contact with Liz Harrison (half of the couple that owns and operates the apiary). I had a few questions and Liz was very prompt and helpful in answering them for me via email. She also made sure to set aside the amount of wildflower honey that I was looking for. All in all, it was a great experience. Not to mention, their honey is raw (unfiltered and unpasteurized) and delicious! A few more details: They had both clover and wildflower honey. A 5# container of wildflower was $17.00.

I am an avid buyer of Ambrose Bee Pharm honey. Why? Bee-cause. Hahaha. I only buy local honey…read morebecause my doctor told me it's the best for us allergy sufferers. I have hayfever really bad, so I figured it couldn't hurt. Now I live in Seattle and I keep threatening to switch to Washington honey but something in me just won't let me fly away from the hive. I love the way this stuff tastes. I know it's honey and it should taste the same, but not all honey is created equal. I don't know what kind of hoodoo they put on the bees to produce such great honey, but I can't take my tea without it. I would pick me up a bottle every few weeks from the organic farmers market in south KC and now I'm hoping to get some through the Internets.

This is a bee 'pharm', run by a chemist and his wife who live near the UMKC/Rockhill area, where…read morethey manage about 30 hives around the city, raised strictly for their honey and, they say, they don't use sugar in the winter or move the bees around for agricultural purposes. They also don't use chemicals and stuff in their bee 'pharming', so this all gives their bees a better chance at the bee colony collapse thing, and makes their honey a little better for the bees and everyone. Anyhow, they sell the stuff at the Minor Park farmer's market, and on First friday's at Bad Seed in the east crossroads. Check em out! The competition for local KC honey is not too steep, so 5 stars until this place gets flooded with beeswax (city hall not included--ha!).

This was a fabulous stop! I lucked out with parking in the main parking lot and let me warn you to…read morenot skip out on paying. It was a measly $2.39 for two hours. I saw the meter maid on patrol both when I got here and when I left. They are ruthless! The market is cool and while I was here to see the Arabia (only here until November than then going... they don't know where) but I took the time to walk around and to get a coffee at the unimaginatively named City Market Coffee House. The cortado was more flat white but it was tasty and delicious and it was nice to sit for a bit and people watch before heading to the riverboat. Lots of other food and drink options here and shopping too. [Review 830 of 2026 - 548 in Missouri - 26011 overall]

The shops are somewhat spread out, so a lot of walking required. Plenty of parking available, first 2 hours are free. Most shops are accessible through indoor hallway, so it's manageable to walk in winter. There are several different types of shops, restaurants, grocery stores are available. There's also a steam boat museum with a gift shop. Among restaurants they had Arabian, Brazilian, Indian, Vietnamese, Mexican, Ethiopian, Filipino and a Pizza place. All these places were small shops with limited seating area. There was one boba tea store and a Dutch flower shop as well. We spent over an hour exploring different shops. We bought some souvenir goods from here. All the staff members and associates were friendly and helpful. I wish there was better heating in the passage way, especially the restaurant and grocery stores wing.

What a cute little farm!! This place has a farmers market feel that you can't beat!! I went out to…read moreget pumpkins for Halloween and try to get them from local farms instead of chain stores. This farm was about 40 minutes south west of my home in KCMO and located right off the roadway. My wife and I were greeted by one of the neighbors who helps keep an eye on the farm and run the register for the stand. They have plenty of live berry bushes and small trees in the nursery part of the farm and so many pumpkins. You couldn't walk five feet without finding more pumpkins!! They have a cute little building which houses all the canned jams, jellies, honey, and syrups that they have available. My wife and I spotted some peach and blackberry jalapeño jam and I was hooked!! Who doesn't love a little kick to their morning toast? They even had a small corn maze in the back of the farm for kids. As well as a sizable bonfire pit set right next to a stream that looks like it's amazing on cool autumn nights. They have a rabbit, three donkeys, and a cat who wonders the property. Being an animal lover I couldn't resist saying hello to the donkeys. One was rather happy to see me pick up the brush and pet him for 10 minutes while the other two eyed me down. When we were there it was quite and peaceful as we were the only customers. Talking with the lady who helped us she said "wait until tomorrow and this place will be full". She went on to tell us that it's mainly busy with school trips during the week and that on Wednesday they had a kindergarten class come through to learn and make their own cider. Did I mention that yet? You can schedule a hayride and make your own fresh squeezed cider!! If that's not a reason to get some friends together this fall then I don't know what is!! If you're looking for a cute intimate farm to get your fresh pumpkins look no further!! This place is worth the drive.

They basically have healthy pre-prepared meals in a cooler ready to go. I believe there are microwaves there just outside the store front (inside the building) that you could use, or most people just take them to go. They have coffees/lattes too, but I have not had one. Their meals come in re-usable plastic containers that I like to reuse. I really like the size and color. It's a bit pricey, but good, clean food is worth it. I wish there were Whole30 options but the sauces (steak sauce / teriyaki sauce / bbq sauce/ soy sauce / buffalo sauce) make that a challenge (true of eating out *everywhere*). The wild caught salmon and green beans were good. They were sold out of the chicken bacon Brussels so that must be a popular dish. You get a 5% discount if you check in on FB. Give this place a try and enjoy feeling better about the fuel you're feeding your body!

They also have apple picking, although we were a little late in the season. We still got a few and they were reasonably priced. The activities include a bounce pad, hayride, playground and animal feeding. They also have great snacks for purchase - mostly apple themed stuff and grilled hot dogs, chips, etc (nothing fancy, but there are several tables and room to spread out. (We opted for Mini Cow town donuts at the food truck!) Overall, the atmosphere was quaint and the price was right. We'll be back!
