Lion's Head Meadery

Leroy has been fascinated with bees since childhood.

His passion led him to study biology and earn a Master’s degree in Biology, becoming an entomologist focused on bee health.

With abundant honey from his hives and a love of winemaking, Leroy began crafting mead using local fruit.

His wife, Bernita, soon joined him, sharing both the work and the dream.

Named after the nearby Lion’s Head rock formation,

the meadery reflects their deep connection to the land, the river valley, and the bees that make it all possible.
