Put Your Honey on the Local Map
A good harvest fills more jars than your friends and coworkers can buy, and a consignment shelf at the feed store takes a cut and tells you nothing about who bought it. Meanwhile, people a few miles away are searching for exactly what is stacked in your garage.
Rootly puts your apiary on the local map. List your jars in the sizes you bottle, tag what is limited, and sell direct to neighbors who want honey from the hives that pollinate their own backyard — paid online, picked up from you.
Built for how beekeepers actually sell
Seasonal tags for a seasonal product
Mark jars "In Season," "Limited," or "Last Harvest" so buyers know spring honey from fall — and know that when it is gone, it is gone.
A waitlist for the sold-out months
Extraction comes in pulses. When a harvest sells out, buyers join the waitlist and get notified when the next one is bottled.
Every jar size you bottle
From sample jars to quarts — custom quantities and sizes let you list exactly what comes out of the extractor.
Vacation mode between harvests
Pause your storefront in the off-season and reopen at extraction — your listings and followers are right where you left them.
Simple pricing, no commission
Your sale price is yours to keep — buyers pay a small service fee at checkout.

Common questions from beekeepers
In most states, yes. Cottage food laws let you make and sell shelf-stable foods — baked goods, jams, honey, and more — from your home kitchen, with rules and revenue caps that vary by state. Michigan, for example, allows up to $50,000 a year in gross sales with simple labeling requirements. Check your own state’s cottage food law before listing, and review Rootly’s seller requirements — you’re responsible for following the laws that apply to what you sell.
