Join the Honey Bear Club!
On the heels of this week's admission that I won't be going to weekly markets this summer, I wish to present you super fans with a fun alternative: join the Honey Bear Club!
Some of you animals bought from me nearly every week, you know who you are! With three tiered options, a cute honey pot, and a tote bag you can bee proud to wear around town, there's an option for everyone with a bear's appetite for honey.
Poppa Bear: Papa Bear: you get a dozen large jars of the good stuff, a honey pot and honey dipper, and a tote.
Mama Bear: you get 8 large jars and 4 small jars, a honey pot and honey dipper, and a tote.
Baby Bear: you get 12 small jars, a honey pot and dipper, and a tote.
Each subscriptions' price reflects the current price of Forager Bee honey (slated to go up with the next harvest), plus a 12% discount on all the things included. The honey will be delivered one jar at a time (unless you request more) to a drop point in your neighborhood once per month. Currently offering this service for those located in Renfrew, Arnprior, McNab Braeside, Douglas, Eganville, and Cobden, with potentially more options coming. You can find the Honey Bear Club pricing on our website www.foragerbee.ca under the Honey & Hive Products tab in the shop! Limited spaces available in each tier, and please keep in mind I can't bring you all 12 jars right away.
Are you a small business in the Valley and want to be a drop point? Shoot me a message!
Thanks for joining me and stay tuned for more updates! Things are ramping upppp!
