Hi KBee,
I have no knowledge of the honey market but I do know something about
pricing strategies. If Whole Foods has taught us anything, it's that
the more you charge, the higher the perception of quality. Now if you
live in a neighborhood of homegrown honey stores, the market might be
more price sensitive. However, if buying homemade honey is a novelty
in your area, I think you could probably charge quite a bit on your
frontage road. I would call it "local small-batch artisan honey" or
something similarly fancy sounding, then price it at $5 for a small
jar and $8-$12 for a larger jar or 4 times what it is available for at
the supermarket.
This might not work for local fairs, but I would call ahead and see if
there are any other honey sales booths. If not, you can probably set
your own price again.
