Mead is an Artisan Good made from placing Honey inside a Keg, taking 1-2 days. Unlike Wine andJuice however, the value of the Mead is not affected by the Honey's type, having a fixed priced of 200 (which only aging and Artisan can increace), which is in fact lower than almost every "flowered", honey. It is best to produce mead only from Wild Honey (such occasion typically presents itself when the season only just begun and the flower has yet to bloom) since Mead does indeed have a better selling value than Wild Honey.
In Summer, the available Flowers, the Tulip and the Blue Jazz produce Honey of lower or the same value as Mead (160 and 200 respectively) but it is still recommended to stick to Blue Jazz since producing Mead takes up a Keg, which could instead be used to create other products.
Another strategy is to stockpile all the Wild Honey one gathers during the first three seasons and then turn it all into Mead in Winter, since it is more likely that the player will have fewer to no crops to use at a Keg by that time.
Mead can be placed inside casks to age. While inside a cask mead can go above "gold star" quality to reach "iridium star" quality. Iridium star level quality doubles the base level value of an item.
