Get paid up front,unless your dealing with a huge farm,like almonds or blueberry growers. Beekeepers waiting on a honey crop will stiff you too.
Once the crop is pollinated you have no leverage,...
I'm with Ted, it's not worth it at the 1.90 paid right now for citrus honey, keeping them here for honey production puts more than a 100 bill under the lid and the bees are much better than being...
I don't know where all the other roses are located, but Plant city ,has over 5000 acres of strawberries grown each year, and is the strawberry capital of Florida and Florida is second in the USA...

expect everything to bee sticky, some will spill out.
You may need to make a few more calls, I got 1.30 from the larger florida packer, and got a quote of 1.40 from a large east coast packer, and hear 1.50 floating around from the mid west.
How many pounds are you talking about and how often would it be needed. We are in central florida .

I ve got it in central florida, It's mostly food grade, every now and then there is a speck of something . It's in bins or super sacks, weight varies, but 600 to 2000 lbs each average.
