Meet Dave the Glasshouse Honeyman – Local Farm Stall

September 20, 2014 by Glasshouse Country 17 Comments

Glass House Mountains “Honeyman”

Meet Dave Erbacher the Glass House Mountains “Honeyman”.  Dave breeds bees and sell honey at his roadside  farm stall outside his home along the Sahara Road, in the Glass House Mountains.

Like all local honey Dave’s honey is seasonal  which means may tastes lightly different or  looks lighter in summer and darker in winter, because of what the bees feed on during the different seasons. Local or ‘natural honey” also crystallise over time and tastes absolutely gorgeous in any season.

In Dave’s own words:

I’m a local beekeeper, I have hives in Glasshouse Mountains and Beerwah and I get enough honey from those hives to sell on this street stall in Glasshouse. Its local it’s pure it varies during the year.

Macadamia nuts are flowering at moment so the next lot batch of honey will be lighter in colour, the honey I am selling that the moment is Eucalyptus,  it’s a winter honey and darker and goes candy in the winter, which only pure honey will do.

The nice thing about Dave is you can drop of a Jar and he will measure and weight the correct amount of honey into it and charge accordingly.

Speaking with Dave,  I he explained that he and chosen to settle in the Glasshouse country after coming up from Melbourne a few years ago.

To find Dave just drive down or up Sahara Road in Glasshouse and you will find Dave’s “local honey” sign towards the lower end of Sahara Rd, (eastern) closest to Glass House Township.

Note: If you know of any other locals selling at farm stalls outs side their home please let us know so that we can support them. The will get free promotion on this website and on Facebook and in our regular glasshouse country newsletter which we send out.

    Hi
    I am part of an over 50’s group who want to come and visit Bankfoot House and then on to the Glasshouse Lookout cafe.

    Could you please give me contact numbers for both as I can’t find them.
    Proposed date for bus trip is 17th August.

    Many thanks
    Val

      Morning Dell, – From Beerwah, you can head down the old Gympie Rd towards Glasshouse, and it’s about 5 or 6 roads along, on the left, if you turn down it it takes you towards the centre for the Glasshouse Parish. (township). Dave has his sign on the grass beside his home on the right side of the road, if you follow these directions. 🙂

      You can take any jar and he will fill it with honey.

      There is also a chap somewhere between Beerwah and Peachester, but I have yet to find him. 🙂

      Hi Jonathon – the Beerwah facebook page has no connections with GC&M News (nor does the glasshousecountry.com website). But as a publication that puts out around 20,000 words a week, we know that sometimes a few things can slip past the proof-reader’s critical gaze.
