Thought I'd share the great experience I just had buying honey online.

I placed an order with Flying Bee Ranch in Salem, OR. Very simple website, no online store or anything, simply sent them an email with what I wanted and my address. I had a reply back the same day with a very reasonable shipped price and a Paypal invoice shortly after that. Package arrived in 3 days via USPS. The honey is great but what really blew me away was that enclosed in the package was a hand written thank you card from the owner. Old school customer service at it's best. I highly recommend these guys!

I hope I wasn't the only one expecting a pic of a sexy Russian bride trying to peel the air mail stamp off her forehead.

Just checked out their site... that's an impressive variety of honeys! Which ones are you working with?

I picked up 18lbs of the meadowfoam. It's no lie when people say it tastes like toasted marshmallows. 18lbs of honey + water topped up to 5 gals yielded an O.G. of 1.163

1.163?
JEEEEEZUSSSSSSS WEPT!!

Just racked and sampled this batch. Gravity is now at 1.028, tastes pretty nice, just needs a little time I think!

I sampled a mead made with meadowfoam a few years ago. If you love toasted marshmellows then yes your in luck. It was quite memorable.

Just wanna point out for people who came to this thread and got all excited, the company has been sold and looks to no longer be in business
