Local Honey Rush

brian ireland

Does any one where I could get my hands on some local honey around Rush loughshinny. The young lads hay fever is pretty bad and the tablets are not doing much good.

What about the Farmers market at Skerries Mills?

If I can swing this off topic slightly, how will honey help?
I ask this as a chronic sufferer

Using Local Honey for Allergies

by Thomas Leo Ogren
As one who makes his living by writing about allergies and asthma I am often asked about the potential health benefits of using local honey. Honey contains bits and pieces of pollen and honey, and as an immune system booster, it is quite powerful. I have often in talks and articles, and in my books, advocated using local honey. Frequently I’ll get emails from readers who want to know exactly what I mean by local honey, and how “local” should it be.

The website doesn't say of they sell honey or not but it's open 10am- 4pm on a Saturday.
Maybe look up some other Farmer's Markets in the area. I know there's one in Balbriggan every Friday morning too.

Thanks for your help people. They had none in the farmers market but a nice lady pointed me in the the direction of the Black Olive in Skerries and I got a jar there. I also got a few leads on Facebook from the Rush page.

Gerrys in Skerries sells honey from Loughshinny. My wife used it before for hayfever and felt that it helped her.
