Gift stores, craft shops, and boutiques are good places to sell local honey. Put up an attractive sign in front of your house: HONEY FOR SALE. Sell your honey at the local farmers’ market. Don’t forget to consider church fairs, synagogue bazaars, and gardening centers.Click to see full answer. In respect to this, do I need a permit to sell honey?Beekeepers who extract their own honey can sell it in the raw form both to the end consumer and wholesale markets. They do not need a WSDA Food Processor’s License. However, honey must be free from all contaminants, all Washington honey must be labeled and graded prior to sale, and hives must also be registered. can you sell unpasteurized honey? Pasteurized honey is not botulism free But the confusion runs deep. Due to concerns that honey is unsafe for young infants, many consumers want to buy only pasteurized honey. But that reasoning is flawed. Pasteurized honey is just as unsafe for infants as raw honey because pasteurization does not kill botulism spores. Hereof, how much does local honey cost? Wholesale prices are around $5.00 per pound, with local supplies for retail ranging from $8-10 per pound, and urban markets asking as much as $15 per pound.Is honey business profitable?I would add that most commercial beekeepers that I know — those with, say, 150 to 600 hives or more, make most of their money from renting their hives to farmers for pollination. At $100 to $150 or more per hive per year, that constitutes their core revenue.
