Honey Market · September 25–27, 2027 · Green Bay, Wisconsin
Green Bay — Wisconsin's oldest European settlement and Brown County's commercial center on the southern tip of Green Bay — sits at the ecological convergence of the Great Lakes maritime zone, the northern hardwood forest belt, and the glacial till farmland of northeastern Wisconsin, creating the diverse honey flora that has made this region a productive beekeeping area since the earliest European settlement of the Lake Michigan shore. Bay Shore Park hosts this late-September artisan market featuring beekeepers from Brown, Outagamie, Calumet, and Shawano counties who produce the basswood, sweet clover, goldenrod, and mixed hardwood forest wildflower honeys unique to the Green Bay region. The Great Lakes maritime influence moderates Brown County's climate, extending the honey flow season and producing a distinctive regional honey character shaped by basswood forests, clover fields, and native wildflower meadows of northeastern Wisconsin. The market features a Wisconsin northern honey tasting comparing Green Bay region varieties with Door County fruit blossom and Northwoods forest honeys; educational demonstrations of Langstroth hive management adapted for Wisconsin's cold winters; artisan beeswax and honey vendors; sessions from UW-Madison Extension on northeastern Wisconsin colony wintering practices; a special program on the role of Lake Michigan's thermal influence in extending the northeastern Wisconsin honey season; and a harvest celebration honoring the Green Bay region's beekeeping heritage stretching back to the French fur-trading era when beeswax was an essential trade commodity along the Great Lakes canoe routes.
