Local Food

One of those supporters, Eileen Menefee, stopped by the studio earlier this week to show why she is the Queen of local honey here in the northland. Eileen, Ed, and rest of the workers at the Bar Bell Bee Ranch donated six 5-pound tubs of local, raw honey that was produced special for KAXE/KBXE at the ranch. When word got out that new sustaining members would receive the tubs of honey, a swarm of donations came in to swoop them up. Eileen spoke with Heidi Holtan and Max Philbrook during the Wednesday Morning Show to share what's happening currently at the Ranch and give some love to all the places that buy their honey.
