Our local flora includes Snow gums, Peppermint gums, Ribbon gums and Black Sallee trees. We have supplemented this with plantings of bioactive teatree – Manuka, and other varieties – to ensure our honey is the closest we can get to a superfood, courtesy of nature. Our honey is 100% raw, cold filtered and unprocessed straight from the hive to the jars. This means it retains all the natural goodness that comes from being sourced from the high country of Australia.
Mission Statement
We are working hard to integrate bioactive honey production into our family grazing property – to benefit the bees, the soil, the livestock, and the people!

Why does honey come in different colours?
These three 250g jars of honey represent three different harvests of honey. They show that what the bees forage on really impacts on the colour, flavour and aroma of the honey.
We do not follow the honey flow of specific species like many apiarists, and therefore cannot guarantee that honey is from only one source. This is why we don’t label our honey with different floral species like other honey you can buy. However we do harvest at different times and do know when different trees and plants are flowering, so can provide some information on likely floral source of different harvests.
On the left is a lighter colour honey that has a peppermint aroma. It is likely that bees foraged mainly on Broad-leaf peppermint gums and snow gums. This honey crystallises very quickly as soon as the temperature drops and starts to look like lemon curd in the jar. Putting the jar in warm water, or on the mantle of our fireplace, quickly turns the honey clear again.
In the middle is a honey where the bees foraged on a broader range of flora – callistemon, grevillea, black sallee, manna gum, yellow box, tea tree and flowers in our garden like lavender and rosemary.
On the right is a darker honey that doesn’t crystallise as easily as the other honey samples. This is because bees likely foraged on species such as red gums or ironbark.
