Where farmers sell to other farmers

How fresh is the honey from Wolfe Honey Company? Put a jar of their organic honey next to your ear, and you can almost hear the buzzing of bees. And to owner Gilbert Wolfe, that is the sweet sound of success.
“While other kids my age were delivering newspapers in the city, I spent my summers working at different bee operations,” explains Wolfe. “Growing up in rural Alberta you learn to appreciate different things. When I turned 17, I got 50 hives of my own and went into the honey business.”
And what a busy little bee he is. Today, Wolfe Honey Company employs 20 seasonal workers, manages 5,000 hives and produces upwards of one million pounds of honey a year. A portion of that is certified organic. It’s one of the largest apiaries in the world.
“What’s nice is that we’re self-sufficient,” says Wolfe. “We adapt to new bee technologies. We don’t have to buy new queen bees, we have our own bees. In the honey business—you’re only as good as your stock.”
