Every daycare, school and sports team in Quebec knows the fundraising drill: a box of something arrives, families are asked to buy it out of obligation, and half of it ends up forgotten in a cupboard. What if you sold something people genuinely want, that is made right here in Quebec, and that carries a real story?
That is exactly what a growing number of garderies, schools and community groups near Montreal already do with our honey. They buy raw honey from us at a group price, resell it to their families, and keep the difference to fund an outing, new equipment, or the year-end party. This guide explains how it works.
Why raw honey is the easiest fundraiser to sell
Fundraising only works when the product sells itself. Local raw honey does, for a few reasons:
- People actually use it. Everyone eats honey. It is not a novelty gadget or a chocolate bar nobody needs. Families are happy to buy something they will finish.
- It is local and real. Hand-harvested in the forests of Mascouche and Cap-Saint-Jacques, raw and unpasteurized. "Supporting a Quebec family apiary" is a story that opens wallets.
- It keeps. Honey does not spoil, so there is no rush, no refrigeration and no waste if a few jars are left over.
- The margin is healthy. You buy at a group rate and set your own resale price, so most of the profit stays with your group.
How a honey fundraiser works with Miel D'or
We keep the process straightforward so a busy educator or team parent can run it without stress:
- 1. Get in touch. Tell us your group, roughly how many jars you think you can sell, and your timeline. Contact us or message us on WhatsApp and we will talk quantities and pricing.
- 2. Collect your orders. Take pre-orders from your families first, so you know exactly how much to buy and carry no risk.
- 3. Pick up in Laval. We prepare your honey for pickup at 3003 8e rue, Laval, QC, by appointment, open daily 8am to 8pm.
- 4. Distribute and keep the profit. Hand out the jars, and the margin between your group price and your resale price is yours to keep.
Because our honey is harvested seasonally, the best time to plan a fundraiser is around the fall harvest. Reach out a little ahead so we can reserve your quantities.
Who this works for
We are glad to supply any group raising money for a good cause: daycares (garderies), elementary and high schools, parent committees, sports teams, scouts, and local non-profits and OBNL. If your group is in Laval, Montreal, Mascouche or the surrounding area and needs a fundraiser that feels good and sells easily, honey is hard to beat.
