Raw local honey typically sells for $10–20+/lb at farmers markets and farm stands — far above commercial grocery honey.
Emphasize the story: local, raw, single-varietal (clover, wildflower, buckwheat) all command premiums.
Creamed/whipped honey commands a 20–30% premium over liquid and appeals to gift buyers.
Gift sets (3-pack sampler, honey + dipper + local candle) dramatically increase average order value.
Don't undercharge. Beekeeping is labor-intensive — price your honey like the craft it is.
