The farm is known as Scotch Lake Farm or Scotch Lake Apiaries or even Scotch Lake Beekeepers' Academy as we are all about keeping honey bees. To be a licensed farm Meadery (or farm winery) in Nova Scotia means that we must produce the main ingredient in our alcohol beverage ... but in fact, we produce most all the ingredients in all our mead and all of our farm products are free of chemicals. Organic and natural beekeeping methods are used and taught on our various sites. At our main site at Scotch Lake, we have a small maple grove, 5 small orchards, various berry bushes, herb gardens, cultivated mushroom and other delicacies which we sell from the farm when there is surplus above our daily requirements. We are licensed to sell our mead (as well as our honey and other products) from our seasonal farm store (call or txt), the Cape Breton Farmers' Market in Sydney, NS year-round on Saturdays and from Baddeck Farmers Market in Baddeck, NS seasonally. During Covid restrictions, we offer two persons at a time shopping and require masks and sanitization. Must have an appointment during off season, hours will be posted otherwise. Message or text 902-574-8756 for more information.
