My first Honey product

[beepig]

I realise that this might be a little boring to you lot out there, but for me it is the begininng of a great adventure. Following the successful launch of my cut comb last weekend farmers market this weekend was the launch of my first meadow and orchard honey. with a beautifully hand drawn label designed by a friend and artist

Congratulations! Looks great.

Nice pic, but you may need to read some of the previous discussion on labelling regulations. One point noticed on first look, the weight must be printed in a minimum size, at over 200 g it's 4mm.

 

[Davelin]

Well done.

You also need the word 'end' in your best before if you only put the year.

 

[Heather]

Proud moment.
Yep, if selling at market, the label, although lovely, does need some legal points addressing.

 

[Tom Bick]

No its not boring it just brings back wonderful memories of my first harvest and how exciting it was.

 

[Hachi]

I'm sure its from meadow and orchard but you might wish to be prepared to substantiate your claims...

looks nice well done, is that this years crop and was it spun or crush and strain

 

[beepig]

it was spun honey. the bees were left all winter, removed twenty kilos this spring.

Lucky there wasn't any ivy in it

when you extract you next load, store in a bucket with gate valve on it and keep in warm place for a couple of weeks, this allows air bubbles to rise and tap off at the bottom, can see some air bubbles on top, don't forget to save some for your self you will find yourself promising honey to everyone and forgetting to save some, been there done that, label looks nice as said in previous post a few modification's to it, well done

All good stuff thanks all..... The cut comb is selling well and quite delicious.
Made first batch of my honey & coriander seed dry cured bacon. Sold out within hours...

 

[Erichalfbee]

can see some air bubbles on top,

Settling bubbles apart....one of the reasons I've given up hexagonal jars is the bubbles in the corners; the devil to get rid of!!!

It looks lovely

Don't worry too much about the label if you're selling from your door or from a boot sale - i.e. you are selling your honey to customers, and they know where to find you.

Our local trading standards say the labelling rules apply to third party sales.

I think if you are selling at a farmers market you need to ensure your labelling complies with regulations. There are several things on yours that currently don't.

Look at the selling honey download on the BBKA website

I would agree with you on this one. as soon as i find a suitable round jar i will be changing. I do not want to sell one pound jars either.

 

[Erichalfbee]

Wynne Jones "Pandora" in 12 oz is a good jar.
Customers actually prefer the round ones as they can get all the honey out

Sounds fantastic- am hoping to do the same one day. Well done you!
