OUR SERVICEs
packing
Our job is to create that unique product that you have been dreaming of. From basic put it in a jar through to a jar in a box with a cover under a sleeve in a sealed bag with a security label. Simple or complex is no problem.
blending
The thing about NZ honey is that there is only so much of it. For larger regular orders we tend to source from several beekeepers to maintain consistency with scope for capacity.
Sourcing
Maybe you'd like a specific floral source or a special number along side your Manuka. However and whatever you need we'll make sure your end product has the assesment and the numbers to back what's on the label.
Other Services
Perhaps you're a beekeeper that just wants to focus on the keeping, or a marketer that wouldn't know a drone from a queen. Either way we love putting our experience and contacts to use to get more NZ honey to the world. That's what it's really all about (in a nutshell).

We only process 100% New Zealand Honey. That's all we put though our plant. Just another reason to be superconfident that that's all your customers will ever find in their jar!
