Buying honey curbside just got more convenient. You can now use Venmo if you don’t have cash or a check. Venmo prices are higher, that incudes their fees.

Not everybody’s a fan of plastic. So we are also offering 1 pound containers of honey in a glass jar. The glass is more expensive and also comes with a handy little wooden dipper. Same amount of honey is in both containers, again just the glass is more expensive for me to purchase. The good news is you get to keep this really nifty glass jar. Same honey, the same amount of honey, the only difference is the container and the price.

If it’s a day where it’s intermittently raining or raining all day, we typically place honey on the front porch out of the rain. If you don't see the cart out, please contact us. Thank-you!
