Phil Ebert started Ebert Honey in 1980 with fewer than ten hives in his backyard near Fairfield, Iowa. What began as a hobby has grown into a thriving family business, now producing around 100,000 pounds of honey each year. Today, Phil and his sons Adam and Alex continue the tradition, supplying local grocery stores, bakeries, breweries, and restaurants across central and eastern Iowa with their honey. 🍯🐝
This Saturday at the Winter Seminar, Phil will utilize his years of experience and knowledge in his presentation on Preparing for Spring.🌷🌸🌞
