 The 9th Annual Mayland Black Jar Honey Contest

NEW DATE!

We’re not going to let Helene stop us from picking the best tasting honey in Mitchell, Avery and Yancey counties. This event, which also includes a silent auction, has been rescheduled for the evening of December 11. Join us to taste, vote and enjoy dinner and an adult beverage at Homeplace in Burnsville.

Area beekeepers are welcome to enter the contest as long as their honey was harvested in Mitchell, Avery or Yancey counties. TCBA members get one free entry. There is a $15 fee for additional entries and entries by non-members. All entries must be dropped off at the Yancey County Cooperative Extension office, 30 E U.S. Hwy. 19E in Burnsville by noon on December 9.

Note: If you entered honey for the October event, it will automatically be entered for the December contest.  There is no need to resubmit your honey.  

For more information or to download an entry form, please see our contest page.

This event is open to the public. Anyone can taste the honey but there is a $10 fee to vote.
