At the Market

The market is now closed for the 2011 season. We’ll be back in business the first Saturday in May. In the meantime, a number of our vendors are continuing to sell produce, baked goods, honey, maple syrup, jams and jellies at the Local Bounty store, Route 83, Coshocton -- near Lake Park. Stop in and check it out!

The Honey Man

The Honey ManDick Mullet, affectionately known as “the honey man,” lives outside of Warsaw, Ohio, and presently maintains about 20 hives. Although fairly new to beekeeping, he is enthusiastic about and totally fascinated by his charges. His wife, Robin, readily admits she is the only woman in Coshocton County who has to put up with her husband’s “thousands of girlfriends.” This year he is also having fun advising an eleven-year-old girl in a local 4-H group who is interested in beekeeping.

Dick offers local honey that is filtered, but not pasteurized, so that the beneficial properties are kept intact. He sells several sizes of jarred honey. He also offers creamed honey, beeswax candles, and flavored honey sticks—a favorite with the kids. Dick enjoys meeting and talking with all the folks at the farmers’ market, and the Mullets encourage everyone to buy local whenever possible.
