The Meadery
Mead; noun. An alcoholic drink made of fermented honey and water.
After 6 years and over 40 flavours of mead, we have almost got this fermenting business down to a science. Yet, we are still always learning something new. Our main goal is to create meads that you can’t find anywhere else. From small, one off batches to outrageous flavours. You will never see a copycat mead from us.
Tamarack Jacks Honey and Meadery has won multiple awards for our meads, from Canadian competitions to municipal. We have put them together for you in our “Award Winners” Collection.
Meet the Brewmaster
Katie Kingdon: Born and raised on a farm in northern Alberta, my heart has always been drawn to the simplicity and warmth of rural family life. After moving south to pursue a career in childcare, I realized that my true calling was to build a life that echoed the values of my upbringing.
Fueled by a deep-rooted love for the rural lifestyle, I met the love of my life and embarked on a journey to create my own business and farm. With determination and a whole lot of team work, we transformed my dreams into reality. As I craft award-winning mead, I'm not just creating a legacy for myself but also laying the foundation for future generations.
This humble venture into the world of brewing is more than a profession; it's a testament to the enduring spirit of rural family life. Join me in savoring the flavors of tradition and innovation, where every drop of mead tells a story of dreams fulfilled and a legacy built for the generations to come.
