Friday Hut Market Honey Raw Bush 700g
Raw Australian bush honey in single harvest batches. Pure, unpasteurised, and seasonal - the flavour changes as blossoms come and go. The 700g jar for households that go through honey regularly.
Friday Hut Market Bush Honey is a different product from commercial honey. Where most supermarket honey is micro-filtered, pasteurised, and blended to produce a stable, consistent product year-round, Friday Hut Market stores each harvest batch separately, offering an unaltered snapshot of a particular place and season. The bees forage from diverse bush varietals surrounding the Big Scrub of Byron Bay, Far South Queensland, and the Big Rivers of Far North NSW. The result is honey that tastes like where it came from.
Texture, colour, and flavour will shift from batch to batch as different blossoms peak and fade. Some batches are light and floral, others deeper and more complex. That variation is the whole point.
The 700g jar is the best-value Friday Hut Market format - more than double the 320g at a lower cost per gram, and the right size for households that use honey daily across cooking, baking, and the breakfast table.
Friday Hut Market is a Northern Rivers roadside apiary operation - small scale, independent, and genuinely local. Stocked at Santos because this is exactly the kind of producer we exist to support.

About Friday Hut Market
Friday Hut Market is a small Northern Rivers honey producer that began as a roadside experiment in selling pure raw honey to support local bees and their keepers. Their philosophy is simple: store each harvest separately, don't blend, don't process, and let the honey speak for itself. They also produce beeswax candles and bars from the same hives.
