🐝 WE'RE AT KENDAL FARMERS' MARKET TODAY! 🍯

And ohhhh... have we got some exciting news to share with you!!! 🥳🏆

It's been an incredible week for Cross Apiary following our success at the Lancashire & North West Honey Show!

We came away with...

🥇 4 x First Places

🥈 3 x Second Places

🥉 2 x Third Places

🏅 1 x Highly Commended in the Light Honey Class, one of the toughest classes to win, with over 40 entries!

But to top it all off...

🏆🐝 OUR HEATHER HONEY WON BEST IN SHOW!!! 🥳🍯

We're absolutely over the moon! All the hard work that goes into looking after our bees and producing our honey makes moments like this even more special.

And the best bit? We've brought our award-winning Heather Honey with us to Kendal Farmers' Market today!

So if you fancy trying some of the BEST HEATHER HONEY IN THE NORTH WEST, come down, say hello and grab yourself a jar! 🍯🐝

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our little local business. It really does mean a lot! ❤️

Just been to our fellow Kendal Farmers Market Traders cafe for breakfast.

You cannot beat Kitridding Farm Shop and Cafe for breakfast! We travelled 40 minutes just to go there for food. Amazing staff, really friendly and incredible food. Well worth the journey out!

Sat now eating some of their millionaires shortbread with a brew!

Have you ever stopped to listen to a tree that's buzzing with life? 🐝🌳

Today I found this tree absolutely covered in thousands of aphids. Many species of ants actually "farm" aphids, protecting them in exchange for the sugary honeydew they produce. But where ants aren't collecting it, the honeydew coats the leaves below.

As the evening drew in, the tree came alive with bumblebees, wasps and flies, all taking advantage of this unexpected sugary feast. It's a reminder that even something most people see as a "pest" can play an important role in supporting other wildlife.

Nature is full of fascinating relationships, and it's these hidden connections that make it so incredible. 🍃

Have you ever seen a tree buzzing like this before?

What an incredible day yesterday was! ☀️🚆🏛️

Through the heat, the train delays and cancellations, and the mad dash across London to make it to Westminster on time... it was all worth it because...

🏆 WE WON! 🏆

A massive congratulations to Kendal Farmers Market, officially crowned the 2026 National Food & Drink Champions by the Countryside Alliance! What an incredible achievement, and one that is so richly deserved.

It was a real privilege to be invited to the House of Lords alongside some of the fantastic producers that make Kendal Farmers Market so special.

A huge thank you to my brilliant train buddy Laura from Martindale Muscovies - Free Range Eggs, who made the journey so much fun... and to Laura from Eden Yard Rapeseed Oil, who got to experience the delights of a hot, crowded London Underground! 😅

Days like this remind us what an amazing community we have. Brilliant people, incredible local producers, and now a national award to celebrate! ❤️

We'll see you all this Friday, 9am–3pm, at Kendal Farmers Market!

Congratulations again to everyone involved, and thank you to for recognising the very best of British local food and drink. 🐝🍯🎉

☀️ We’re here all day at the award-winning Kendal Farmers Market 🍯🐝

If you're out enjoying this gorgeous weather, why not come and say hello? We're here until 3pm with all of our delicious local honey and our popular honey tasting station! 😋🍯

Unfortunately, our bees have stayed at home today. In this heat they can overheat very quickly, so their welfare comes first. ❤️🐝

Come and sample the different varieties, have a chat about bees and beekeeping, and stock up on your favourite honey!

See you soon! 🌼
