Lilly Belle Meads is a farm meadery owned and operated by Patricia and Joe Marshall, now located inside Rusty Nickel Brewing Company in West Seneca, NY, after closing their Lancaster tasting room. They handcraft modern meads using locally sourced honey that reflects the floral terroir, drawing from over 20 years of experimentation. As beekeepers and farmers, they emphasize environmentally safe practices and promote awareness of the honeybee crisis.
