Free Shipping on Bulk Pure Raw & Unfiltered Honey in Pails or Jugs

Yes, and we hold ourselves to a published standard: never heated above 118°F, strained at 400 microns so the natural pollen stays in, and never pasteurized.

Most grocery-store honey is cooked at 140–160°F and filtered crystal-clear — done to look appealing on a shelf and to delay crystallization. We do neither. Read our published raw & unfiltered standard.

Yes — free shipping on orders over $35, to all U.S. states including Alaska and Hawaii, as well as U.S. territories and APO/FPO addresses. Wholesale orders are excluded. See our shipping policy.

Every order also includes free Package Protection, so if your honey arrives damaged or goes missing, we make it right.

Both hold the same 12 pounds of honey. Choose based on how you plan to use it:

• Gallon jug — easier to pour. The better pick for everyday kitchen use.
• Gallon pail — airtight and food-grade, with a wide opening. The better pick for long-term storage, refilling smaller jars, or scooping honey once it has crystallized.

For long-term storage in either container, we recommend transferring the honey to glass jars.

A gallon of honey weighs about 12 pounds (5.44 kg). Honey is roughly 40% denser than water, which is why a gallon of honey weighs so much more than the 8.3 pounds a gallon of water weighs.

We sell honey by weight rather than volume. Every container is weighed to make certain you receive at least what you paid for — and usually a little more.

Yes. Our gallon pails and jugs are food-grade and BPA-free. They seal airtight to preserve flavor and quality, and they're far lighter than glass — which is what lets us keep bulk shipping affordable.

Yes. Beyond the 1-gallon, we carry larger bulk sizes including 5-gallon pails. Browse all bulk honey sizes.

For wholesale volumes or a custom quote, get in touch with us — we're a small family operation and we'd rather talk it through with you.

Yes — a good share of our bulk customers do exactly that. Homebrewers typically use somewhere around 2–3 pounds of honey per gallon of finished mead, so a 12-pound pail comfortably covers a standard 5-gallon batch.

It's also a practical size for bakers, coffee shops, and anyone refilling smaller jars at home. Because it's raw and unfiltered, you get the full character of the varietal rather than the flat sweetness of heavily processed honey.

Yes, it's still perfectly good. Crystallization is simply what real, raw honey does over time. It's evidence your honey wasn't pasteurized or heavily filtered — not a sign that anything is wrong with it.

Ours tends to crystallize with a smooth, creamy consistency. That's naturally crystallized honey — it is not whipped or creamed honey.

To return it to a liquid state, set the sealed container in a bath of warm (not boiling) water and stir occasionally as it softens. Skip the microwave and avoid high heat: overheating destroys the very qualities that make raw honey worth buying in the first place.

Keep it sealed, at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Honey is shelf-stable and needs no refrigeration — in fact, cold speeds up crystallization.

If you're storing a large container for a long stretch, we recommend transferring the honey into glass jars. For honey you'll work through within a few months, the original container is fine as-is.

No. Honey is one of the very few foods that does not spoil. Its low moisture and natural acidity make it inhospitable to the microbes that spoil other foods.

Over time it may crystallize or darken slightly. Neither affects safety, and neither means the honey has gone bad.

Yes. Our honey is certified kosher by OK Kosher. View our kosher certificate.

No — do not give honey of any kind to infants under 12 months old. This applies to raw honey and pasteurized honey alike, and to every brand, not just ours.

Honey can contain Clostridium botulinum spores. An adult digestive system handles them without trouble, but an infant's cannot, and they can cause infant botulism. Honey is considered safe for children over one year of age and for adults. This guidance comes from the CDC and the American Academy of Pediatrics.
