The World of Honeybees: Learning While Having Fun

We’re hosting this workshop again this year—it was a huge hit last year!

You’ll learn about the ecology of the “honeybee”—a creature we’re all familiar with.

You’ll sample various types of honey, make juice using honey,

and experience honey extraction using a centrifuge—something you rarely get to see.

Come and experience the fun world of “honey” that you might not know much about.

We also plan to sell honey and other items.

Cheeses Perfect for Summer

We’re hosting our popular cheese workshop again this year.

Even during the hot summer months when your appetite tends to wane, enjoy delicious, nutrient-packed meals! We’ll teach you how to enjoy cheese in ways unique to summer.

Cheese is a versatile ingredient that works great as a snack or a main dish!

Let us introduce “Cheeses You’ll Want to Enjoy This Summer.”

This time, you’ll get to enjoy 5–6 varieties.
