Wisconsin Public Television producer Joel Waldinger visited Sweet Mountain Farm last summer. He came to film an episode for Wisconsin Life.  Wisconsin Life celebrates what makes Wisconsin unique through the diverse stories of its people. Its award-winning producers travel the state in search of stories that are personal, engaging and rich with the personality of Wisconsin, the state we call home.

Honey from different regions of the country take on different flavors such as buckwheat, cranberry, clover, and wild flower honey. It’s much like a fine wine. Honey is going to taste different depending on its floral source and its location and that’s why you have a whole new group of honey connoisseurs. Would 3,000 year old honey still be edible? Why was Alexander the Great placed in a vat of honey? Find out. Here are two trailers from an upcoming episode. Stay tune for an announcement about date and times of the full episode that features Sweet Mountain Farm.
