Back in August of last year, Gerry heard Golden Meadows Honey Farm was looking for someone to do their farm markets. He was most excited and very happy that he was given the opportunity. He thoroughly enjoys doing markets for the opportunity of meeting people as well as learn from them. "There are always those who will know more about what is going on than I do. I really like people, and working the markets offers me the opportunity to meet the most interesting people ever."

He has now gained a greater understanding about bees and honey and looks forward to continuing that education.
