We need your honey!
You need to be a paying member of the Guild to sell honey, but we’re pretty sure you’ll make more than your money back if you do.
Last year our 13 vendors sold an average of 18 @ 1 pound jars of honey, and 28 @ half pound jars . Not everyone sold those sizes of course but those were the most common. On average each of our beekeepers made $487 on sales of $609 at Honey Fest. Most also sold honey at other events throughout the year as well and the average total payout was about twice that.
A few less common items consistently sell out:
- Cut Comb – if you make it, it will sell. There’s never any leftover.
- Lollipops – there’s really no limit
- Tiny bottles – two ounce bottles, baby bears, etc. all sell out consistently
- Decorative bottles – again, they little glass bears and skep jars tend to do very well.
In conclusion – sign up to sell honey! We want as many of our members to participate as possible.
