Wines of Canada

Since 1992

Dreams that are acheived is what makes Canada so great Among those who have achieved is Alberta Hopp farmer Will Munsey. When he herd that the old firehouse in New Sarepta was up ofr sale he bought and started a Meadery.

New Sarepta was a really booming little community up until the 1950s, when better roads were built and people started getting individual automobiles and the railway stopped,” said Munsey, a train engineer who, with wife Mika, bought an old berry farm and then took up beekeeping about six years ago (approx 2017).

William had previous lived in Asia he met his wife in Japan where they lived for ten years before moving to rural Alberta to give their children a more natural enviroment

New Sarepta lies south east of Edmonton near the residental are known as Bemont not far from Leduc.

A couple of years later, with his hives multiplying (he now has 52), he began making mead. He had been making his mead under the label of High Water Honey and Mead, and selling it at Rig Hand Distillery in Nisku. But he’s applied for a name change to fit with the fire hall, and the mead will soon be marketed under the ‘Old Station’ brand

In addition to his honey and mead, the shop will sell local pickled vegetables, as well as cheese makers and other artisans.

Old Station currently offer eleven different meads, both still and sparkling. 

William makes the meads along with neighbour Kevin Borch
