Gentle Breeze Honey is a full beekeeping operation and honey processing farm in the rolling countryside near Mount Horeb. Eugene Woller and family have been selling at the Dane County Farmers’ Market for 18 years.
Gentle Breeze will be at the last outdoor market of the season on Saturday, November 7, but will not be participating at the indoor markets later in November and December. Customers are welcome to come out to the farm, which is located "in the triangle" between Mount Horeb, Mount Vernon, and Verona at 2123 Town Hall Rd., off Highway 92. Call 608-832-4876 first to make sure someone's there. Gentle Breeze Honey can also be found in natural food outlets, gift shops and select community grocers around Wisconsin.
Eugene Woller spoke to The Daily Page at the Saturday market from his stand on West Washington.
