Fallentimber Meadery

What Fallentimber Meadery does

Fallentimber Meadery is a privately held, family-owned Canadian craft meadery founded in 2010 and headquartered in Water Valley, Alberta, approximately one hour northwest of Calgary. The company produces alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages along with raw honey products from its vertically integrated beekeeping and brewing operations. Its portfolio comprises sparkling session meads (Meadjito, Honey Buck, Honey Colada, Seadóg) sold in 4-pack 355mL cans, traditional still meads (Saskatoon Mead, Traditional Mead, Sweet Mead) in 750mL bottles, braggots, and since March 2024 a non-alcoholic Honey Kissed Soda line in three flavors. The company also sells raw clover and wildflower honey in 500g, 1kg, and 3kg formats plus comb honey, distinguishing its product through Canada No. 1 White grade, less than 17.8% moisture, unpasteurized honey sourced from bee colonies in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining direct-to-consumer sales (on-site farm store open Saturday-Sunday 12PM-7PM, e-commerce with Alberta-only shipping, and a pickup point at Calgary Farmers' Market West) with retail distribution (Honey Kissed Soda at Calgary Co-op and Freson Bros.) and seasonal presence at six Alberta farmers markets (Airdrie, Cochrane, Canmore, Cremona, St. Albert, Calgary West). Customer segments include Alberta craft beverage enthusiasts (primary), event attendees and experience seekers seeking farm tours, tastings, and on-site events such as Rock and Roll Bingo and the Apple Blossom Fest, health-conscious non-drinkers via the soda line, and honey consumers. Pricing is unit-based in Canadian dollars (sparkling mead 4-packs ~$16.19 CAD, still mead 750mL bottles $20.95-$23.81 CAD, honey $14-$55 CAD, tour minimum $350 weekday). Revenue also derives from event tickets, camping fees, branded merchandise, and gift cards. The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
