Making your honey jar label work
Beekeepers sell at farm stands, markets and from the front porch, and the jar label is often the only branding they have. It needs to look handmade in the right way while carrying the weight and the source.
What to write on it
- Name the honey by its flowers or season: Wildflower, Clover, Spring Harvest.
- Say where it comes from and whether it is raw or unfiltered, which buyers specifically look for.
- Add the net weight and your farm name; check your local rules for any other required wording.
One tip
Honey jars are often round or hexagonal. Measure the flat face of the jar, and trim the label to fit it before applying.
