Growing Local

Western North Carolina was the home of a local honey advocate. The late Laurey Masterton was a beekeeper who shared her love of honey with students through ASAP's Growing Minds Farm to School program. She also hosted the early years of the International Black Jar Honey Contest at her cafe. The Center for Honeybee Research will present the 2017 contest in Asheville this weekend.
