Just as bees share their honey-making secrets from one generation to the next, our ancestors have passed down their private, recipes of comfort foods. Join us as we celebrate the sweet fruits of our ancestors’ labors, with a sampling of the traditional, home-prepared food that has created cherished memories of the past.  Honoring the sweet warmth of family, your recipe may have been passed down by your mother, father, sister, uncle, or anyone close to your heart.
