Where it started

We're a father-and-son operation. Both beekeepers. The hives have been in the family for years — long before there was a brand to put on the jar. The honey was always raw, always poured into glass, always from our hives in Northland. Nothing else.

A few years ago we started shipping the leftover jars to people who'd asked for them. Then more people asked. Then we needed labels. Then we needed a website. Then we needed a name.

So we put our family name on the jar.

How we make it

The honey doesn't change between hive and jar. We don't heat it — heat kills enzymes. We don't micro-filter it — filtering strips out pollen and the texture that comes with raw honey. We don't blend in cheaper honey to stretch supply.

What this means: our honey is sometimes thick, sometimes very thick, depending on the season. It crystallises naturally over time. The pollen content is higher than processed honey because we don't take it out. The MGO is what the bees made, certified by an independent lab on every batch.

If you've had supermarket Manuka, ours will look and feel different. That's not a marketing claim — that's just what raw honey is.

Why glass

Plastic leaches. Slowly, but it leaches. Especially with something as dense and reactive as raw honey, sitting on a shelf for months.

We use glass because we're going to be eating this honey too. So are our families. Glass is heavier, costs more to ship, and breaks if you drop it. We accept all of that.

Where we are now

Right now it's just the two of us. One of us runs the hives, the harvest, the packing, and dispatch from Northland. The other runs the store, the ads, the emails, and replies to most customer messages.

We're a small operation. Some seasons we sell out before the next harvest. We don't have a marketing department, a co-packer, or a warehouse — just our apiary in Northland and a Shopify store.

If you've got questions, they go straight to one of us. We'd rather it stayed that way for as long as possible.
