honey from the midwest

[Maine_Beekeeper]

I've traded several honeys now with the West Coast but have yet to have any "heartland" honey exchanges. I love all of the different honey colors, flavors, consistencies!
Anyone in the middle of the country interested in trading for honey from Maine?

What have you got to offer???? We have some very nice white alfalfa honey. Very dry very white & very good flavor.

[Maine_Beekeeper]

I have "wildflower" (straight up Maine Sunshine) and I have "Ruby Red" which is red like a glass of wine with a mildly fruity flavor.

I have some cotton alfalfa honey I also have some creamed cotton honey that is really sweet and light I would be interested in a trade for the ruby red if you would like to trade

Hello Maine_Beekeeper,
I've got some Canadian Canola honey or darker sunflower that I wouldn't mind trading with some of your "Ruby Red"

Maybe 1 or 2 Kg ???

Let me Know

Two trades completed and thanks Jonathan and riverrat for the honey! WONDERFUL!

As this was the 1st year with bees we don't have any honey to trade, but would trade a pint of sorghum made in NE Kansas for a pound of your Ruby Red. I know the rules say to trade the same size (and only honey) but as honey is sold by weight and sorghum by volume this would be easiest.

Jethro -
Absolutely! Being from Maine I've never tried sorghum. I'm excited to try it - sounds like it is made a lot like Maple Syrup!
I've sent you a PM.

Hello Maine_Beekeeper,

I recieved your "Ruby Red" and am tremendously impressed by the flavour.
Thank-You

Jonathan

[Maine_Beekeeper]

I'm so relieved it made it through customs without problems. And thrilled you like it.
As I said in PM, your honey is wonderful as well!
Thank you!

I got the honey it has a really nice flavor, unlike anything I have tried. Hope you enjoy the sorghum as much as I am enjoying the honey. Thanks
Jethro

Hi Jethro-
Glad you liked the honey.
WOW sourghum is something different (and great!)
My husband had a taste and said "that would make a wicked good cookie."
I'm planning on using my grandmother's famous molasses cookie recipe and substituting the sourghum. I think I'll do it for the family Christmas dinner - something special for us.
Thanks for the chance to try something so dilligently homemade that isn't available around here.
Thanks again and take care,
-Erin
