I also find honey vendors at at weekend markets so between all of this always have a good supply of quality honey. I never buy it from the supermarket.

Having said this, if I lived in a remote area and did not have this access, I might look at online but would probably deal with a vendor that I had met in my travels, and been able to sample their products first.

SWMBO does buy jam on-line but this is because she visited the place at Barossa and had a taste, bought some and now restocks on-line.

Thanks Dave. We have heard great things about Beechworth and they seem great people to deal with which is why we went to them as well.

2.5 tons of honey will make a decent drink of mead! PM me when it is on.

I have heard thay honey is the only food not to require a use by date, as it lasts indefinitely.
