Why Participate?

The Philadelphia Honey Festival serves two essential purposes. Firstly, it offers you, our esteemed Guild members, THE platform to sell your honey to eager festival-goers. Secondly, it is a powerful occasion to raise awareness about the vital role of honey bees in our environment, food supply, and economy. Together, we can promote urban beekeeping and gardening, fostering a sustainable future.

Sell Your Honey:

We are thrilled to offer you the chance to sell your local raw honey at Honey Fest! Our events this year have seen increased enthusiasm for locally-sourced honey, and we want to present a diverse range of Philadelphia honeys to our visitors.

Consigning Honey for Sale:

To ensure smooth coordination, please follow these steps to consign your honey for sale at Honey Fest:

• Visit the “Honey Consignment Guidelines & Sign Up” page and carefully follow the instructions to sign up.
• For those not using our honey kitchen, kindly file a simple application as a “Limited Food Establishment” with the state of Pennsylvania.

Use the Certified Honey Kitchen:

Good news! The Guild has a certified Honey Kitchen in partnership with Awbury Arboretum. This means you can legally extract and bottle your honey for sale without additional registrations. If you’re a Standard, Senior, or Lifetime member in good standing, you can register to use the Certified Honey Kitchen on the available dates. Not yet a member? You can join here .

Together, let’s make this year’s Philadelphia Honey Festival an outstanding success! Your involvement and support are truly appreciated. Sign up as a volunteer and consign your honey soon to guarantee a memorable event.
