Where do you sell your honey

[stephenpug]

I am lucky as i own a butchers shop so i can sell all i can produce at £5 per Lb all the honey is spun and jarred in the kitchen but as my wife has got an advanced hygiene certificate so we are well covered i have also done a HACCP (hazard and critical control plan)

To honey packers in 300kg steel barrels.

Plastic lined I presume - Epoxy?

Hives are in a field five minutes walk from the house.
Extracted and jarred in the sun room....warm and can exclude family, pets and bees; 12 oz round, 8oz chunk, 8oz cut comb.
My biggest one off sale is Conwy Honey Fair which is also a long weekend away treat. I am off the beaten track so few door sales, though I might experiment with a sign at the end of our track and a sales point at the end of our drive (we are actually along a footpath but a rarely used one. The rest of the year I do a fortnightly farmers' market, which is great fun. I can talk about honey and bees all morning without encountering that glazed expression. Two or three Christmas fairs let me indulge in fancy packaging and I usually do very well.

We have about 30 beekeepers booked in to sell honey at the C0nwy Honey Fair on Sat. 13th September. Stall space is full now. We hope to sell well over a tonne of honey by lunchtime. I doubt if there's anywhere where honey sells faster. This will be C0nwy BKA's 25th year organising the 700-year old event, on behalf of C0nwy Town Council. See our website for details, including the history of the event.

Why is local honey often found in butchers? Or is my perception wrong? Strange bedfellows indeed.

Nothing like honey on roast lamb!

B&B booked and fingers crossed for good weather

When our butcher found out we keep bees, the first thing he said was 'bring some jars up, I'll sell it for you.'
