The Lake Champlain area is a sweet place to be in, what with establishments like Lake Champlain Chocolates and the famous Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream. Every meal is sure to be topped off by an amazing dessert leaving you wanting more. Natural sweetness also has a place here with Vermont’s famous maple syrup and honey. Almost 500,000 pounds of honey are produced in Vermont every year, making it one of the largest honey producers in the country. A large part of Lake Champlain realty is saved for the production of honey and other crops.

Vermont honey is no ordinary honey – it has a distinct mild flavor and light color due to the type of plants and flowers that grow here. The flowers play a major role in honey production because it is from these that honeybees get precious nectar which is a vital ingredient of honey. The bees also help in the pollination of other plants and crops.

Known as the “land of milk and honeybees,” one of the key attractions in the Lake Champlain area is the Champlain Valley Apiaries which has been producing the best honey since 1931. Gathered by bees from only the finest blossoms of clover and alfalfa, they have been the local favorite for more than 70 years. If you want a healthy dessert or sweetener, go nowhere else but Champlain Valley Apiaries. They offer raw honey in its natural crystallized form and slightly heated honey in liquid form.

Lake Champlain realty consists mostly of lake view and mountain view homes. An agricultural center by heart, the lake and its surrounding areas exude a rustic charm you won’t forget anytime soon.
