1 gallon of honey price

[Dr. B in Wisconsin]

Hello everyone out there
Just a quick question, what would be a fair price to sell a gallon jar of honey?
Thanks for the input

Hey Dr B, somewhere in the last couple of months there was a thread where folks gave the price of pints and quarts from their neck of the woods.

Per the Bee Culture chart the price of a quart in your area is $12.35. Down here in Florida it is $24.00
That is for commercial honey not local honey.

Wow I figured there would be lots of local honey in FL. being a big bee state and warm.
I get 15.00 a QT. I have seen it on line for 40.00 a QT. raw organic honey just crazy.

i'm seeing 18.00 a quart for local honey around here but there is one person selling what they claim is sourwood for next to nothing because the feed store is retailing it for 12.00 a quart.  i would think 50.00 a gallon for decent raw,  table grade honey would be more than fair.  there are a lot of 20-30 hive beekeepers in the area so somewhere with less beekeepers may have much higher prices.

I bottom out at $5 a pound.

So, I charge $60 for a gallon of honey and will knock off a couple bucks for their own container.

I am going to increase my prices this year as I had been selling 4lb bottles at $20, but will probably bump up to $24 this year.  I may still do $60 for a gallon in their own container.

I am a hobbyist though and I give 1/2 of my honey proceeds to local charities.

I'm getting $18/quart and $35 for a 1/2-gallon.  I stopped selling gallons ($60), because people REALLY went for the price break and it took a bite out of my supply.  Even now, I only pour a certain number of 1/2 gallons.  I only sell the honey I make at my farm, so I try to take care of the folks that only come in for quarts.  Also, the supply lasts from one season to the next so I rarely need to tell people I'm out.

At least in my part of Dallas it seems the going price with hobbyist beekeepers is $20 a quart for raw, unfiltered honey with zip code on the bottle.   Have to be careful because there's a local company goes by Zip Code Honey....don't know if they've trademarked it or what, but it's very popular (and a good product).
