Milk & Honey Dairy has joined the long list of farms in Lacombe County that provide fresh, local food to Central Albertans. Owned and run by Marcel & Heather Wassink, Milk & Honey is home to 108 animals, including 64 milking cows. Marcel grew up on a dairy farm in Leduc County and has tremendous pride in how he was raised. The time spent with his family, especially working with his father on the farm, helped him develop a strong work ethic and a love for the docile, curious personality of the cows. Along with his wife Heather, they began milking their first 64 cows in February 2023 at Milk & Honey Dairy. Keeping it in the family, Heather grew up on the property where the Wassinks now farm, and they look forward to developing their skills and passion for farming together.
The basis of the viewer is that you can look at historical climate trends using metrological data. Can track weather patterns back to 1901. In 1901, Alberta had 10 stations, and now over 500 metrological stations across Alberta, collecting hourly data, which is how the information is gathered.
Beginning in the early 80s, First Choice Operations provided products and services for hog farmers. When Penner Farm Services purchased the company in 2002, it came with a relocation of the business to Red Deer from Manitoba. Ten years later, in 2011, they made another move that found them settling in Lacombe County to their current location in the Wild Rose Commercial Park.
This location appealed to them because it is in the heart of central Alberta farming country, is cost-effective for business, and provides excellent access. Because Penner Farm Services has clients across the province, a facility at the intersection of QEII and Hwy 12 allows for ease of travel for customers and for staff, who are mostly local to the Lacombe area.
