I love that they have lists of health benefits explaining what pollen can help with, also there is another product I forgot the name has numerous health benefits!! They have free wine sampling which was awesome, but you can put some $$ towards a fundraiser they have for their samples they offer great idea!! We loved most of the wines! They also have guys that make the wine called meaders! They have tours as well for school groups, and probably adults too if you ask!! I love it here and will be back for sure!!

They also have different flavours anf kinds of honey that were all superb, they even had chocolate honey! We purchased mead and wine from them before,which were quite sweet, but were great dessert beverages. On our recent visit we bought some creamy unpasteurized honey, hand salve, honey lip chap, mini soap, and bath bomb. The honey is great, just love how creamy it is. The hand salve is amazing, it works great with my fiance's extremely dry hands and I just love the honey mint fragrance it has. The lip chap is great as well, it would be better if it actually tasted like honey, but it's still superb. Both the mini soap and bath bomb were both amazing as well, the soap we bought uses Saskatoon berries and smells really fruity (which we love). We didn't get to do the bee tour since we had other appointments, but we definitely recommend visiting the shop for all your honey cravings!

We got tons of attention from the staff and owner who are all so sweet, kind and attentive! They let us sample their yummy cereal bars while waiting for our food. Think Rice Krispie squares but a million times tastier and chewier!! We tried, cinnamon toast crunch, fruit loops and chocolate Cheerios! I'd go back for those alone. The place is super cute. Modern look with reclaimed wood and vintage accents. For decor they had pie safes, an old retro kitchen stove and even the chandler is made from old pie tins and baking accessories! It was very cool. It has a hint of mint colour based on a retro themed purse. The ketchup and condiments come in little mint tin buckets. Super cute! The food.... Oh the food!! To die for! So tasty! My littlest got the mac n cheese pie. Creamy dreamy with a hint of hot sauce. The pie crust with it is perfect!! My older daughter got chocolate French toast and she could not stop eating. It was sweet, but not too sweet. She left way too full, but very satisfied. I got the basic breakfast and it was delish!! The sausages are butchered and smoked/cured(?) in house. They were so plump and filling. The eggs were perfect, but I fell in love with the hash browns! A perfect mix of fluffy mashed potato and crunchy outside seasoned to perfection. I usually skip the hash browns as I don't li, but these ones were the best I've ever tasted. I got a whole lemon meringue pie to take home to the family for dessert tonight and I also go a slice of the pecan and a slice of the luscious lime pies! Taste tested them all and let me tell you... I was in heaven! Best pies ever!!! The girls and I also split an apple pie milkshake and it was exactly that.., apple pie in a milkshake. It was delicious and so filling!!! We left there three very happy full girls.

Every Tuesday from 11:30 - 7:00, The Apple lady sets up a one lady mini farmers market near the…read morefood court on the main level of Eau Claire Market. Apples, as you may have guessed, are her main business. I could go on about how the apples are organic and farm direct from the Okanogan, how the Ambrosia apples are delightfully crisp and refreshing with a pleasant amount of sweet... All of this is important to me, but at the end of the day, she really is the perfect lady to buy apples from. She's every bit as sweet as the apples she sells and she absolutely loves them. A quick chat with her and you'll remember how much you love apples to. I bet she makes the meanest apple pie you've ever seen. Along with the apples and apple relatives (she showed me some Quinces. It's a tasty smelling thing. Look it up.) She also carries a good amount of veggies at her Eau Claire market stand. She works with the veggie farmers at the Hilhurst/Sunnyside Farmers Market to sell a great mix of farm fresh veggies. I picked up some gorgeous bell peppers of all colours and sizes. Some nice jalapeños that she tells me are so spicy her hands still burn today from chopping a bunch of them up yesterday, red and yellow onions, mushrooms, cilantro, and some really great looking beets for $15. My shopping bag was really full. In many cases her prices beat what you'd get at a place like Safeway and her products kick the crap out anything you'll get at Safeway. It's worth it to wait until Tuesday at Eau Claire Market, or every first and third Wednesday of the month at the Hillhurst Sunnyside market (see here: http://www.yelp.ca/biz/hillhurst-sunnyside-farmers-market-calgary) to buy your produce, folks.

Only open on the weekends. I've come to the realization that…read moreyou need to show up at the time of opening! You're not fighting for parking, no line ups at the vendors! In fact it's quite pleasant shopping for fresh local fruits and vegetables, with no battling the crowds. I managed to get 6lbs of jalapeños for my cowboy candy. This year I must say it's more expensive $3.99 per pound up from last year $2.99 per pound. I was also able to get a container of mango salsa which sells out quickly. - plenty of parking in the early morning can be quite chaotic in the later hours.

Absolutely worth to check out! And it is mostly local beacause of people who have enough guts to start their own business, that alone is a good reason to support them! It's open Wednesdays from 3-7pm, a few Saturdays as well. You can stop by after work, get good groceries AND have dinner there while listening to some live music. There is homemade food available, authentic indian food and pizza. Lots of seating and you get entertained by live music. What else do you want? Right, dessert! Guess what, they have it as well. Bring napkins because your mouth waters just by looking and these yummy sweet creations.
