Price of Honey

[porterswoods]

I need a new honey supplier an was wondering what the going rate for a lb jar of honey is?

 

[Erichalfbee]

I charge £5.00 for 12oz at farmers' market.
You might expect to pay £3.95 ish per Lb for honey in bulk 30Lb buckets.

 

[porterswoods]

I have been quoted £3.40 for a half pound jar, which is there wholesale price. With a recommended retail price of £4.75, that would make it £9.50 a lb! Which i think is a bit steep, and would never sell in my shop.

I would be happy to take it in 30lb buckets if anyone is local to me.

You could pop an ad in the for sale/wanted section and also google beekeeping associations local to you to ask there.

Hi, I could sell some honey to you at the price of £7 per 1 kg.

I was hoping to be more local than lithuania

Well, I understand you pretty well, however, you could try some Lithuanian honey as well. It's raw, polyfloral and 100 percent natural. It could be delivered to you at no additional cost if you were interested.

We only stock local produce, I just wanted to know the going rate. There is now way i can produce enough for my shop so need a secondary supply that is local.

Have you tried Tony Manton (Brackley Bees)? He would give you a competitive price and reliable regular supply of quality local honey.

 

[porterswoods]

No I haven't. Is he googleable?

 

[Chris B]

I'll pm you

 

[porterswoods]

cheers

some is but a lot was off borage and beans

 

[Erichalfbee]

That's a blooming good price for the buyer!

ours retails at over £5.50 for 340g. but was in minehead today and in the Exmoor producers shop and was shocked that they are retailing for less than I charge wholesale.

no wonder people make no profit.

Spar selling "EU and non-EU" honey at £1.75/lb :-(
