No easy road
We are a micro-honey company, nestled within 60 acres of the isolated Coromandel Rain Forest - accessible only by the infamous 309 Road, a 13-mile 4WD gravel track connecting the east-west seaboards.

Buzz words
Ethical and sustainable beekeeping are part of our core philosophy. We believe in keeping our bees as natural as possible, which results in keeping our honey pure and natural. Our bees are placed thoughtfully in each site, for both the sustainable production of honey and their health. We keep hive numbers at each site low to reduce competition for resources, they receive an abundance of quality nectar, and can maintain purity in their honey. We don't like to move our bees around excessively, we prefer to keep them here on the Coromandel, its home for us both.

Hive to Home
We pride ourselves in taking the shortest possible supply chain from Hive to Home. We don't purchase any honey elsewhere, we only pack what we produce. Every step passes through our families hands;The harvest, extraction and packaging all take place here on the 309 Road. Our Honey is Small batch, raw, unpasteurized and low filtered. We don't add any bad stuff and we don't take away any good stuff, simple. If the ancient Macedonians were making honey, this is how they’d do it. We keep costs low, no big hive moving operations or heavy machinery, just us, our bees and the land.This gives us the opportunity to offer you high quality honey at an affordable price.
