Title: Sidliners and fultimers...
Post by: Mklangelo on May 01, 2007, 10:04:04 AM
What is the going retail price for honey in your area?


I'm seeing prices as high at 3.50 US for 6 ounces on the net.

Wow.  Amazing what you can charge when you tap into the "boutique" honey market...  4.00 US/pound for bulk sales...


Well, I plan on doing something on the net and I can see that I'll easily be able to undercut these charactors.

Unless you can market all your honey yourself, the most a packer will pay is the wholesale price.  Here in florida my citrus honey crop would sell anywhere from .80-1.25 a pound, which is way underpriced of what i think it is worth.

  You do almost all the work so they can mark it up 500%
