Directed by David Winning (“The Crossword Mysteries,” “Sense, Sensibility and Snowmen,” , a cast of Hallmark Movie veterans includes Colleen Wheeler (“X-Men: Evolution,” “Tully,” “Bridal Wave”) , Andrew W. Walker (“Steel Toes,” “Merry and Bright,” “Bottled With Love”) and Rhiannon Fish (“The 100,” “You’re Bacon Me Crazy,” “Aurora Teagarden Mysteries”).

Pioneer Avenue was set up to depict a busy farmer’s market with a honey festival across the street in Centennial Park, complete with a honeycomb-adorned stage, bee-related merchandise and plenty of honey.
Familiar local businesses were given their own movie makeovers as the Observer became Ladd Veternary Office, Agassiz Deli bcame Lottie’s Cheese Shop and a sign reading Springfield’s Hardward and Garden Supplies can be seen outside Red Apple.
Plot details are currently under wraps, but the movie itself is scheduled for an Aug. 7 release in the States, according to the recently created IMDb page.
