Our philosophy is not “Can we get it?” but “How are we going to get it?” The expedition takes us to some of the most remote and untouched areas of New Zealand ensuring the purity of our honey.

Where trucks can’t be imagined, helicopters are flown in to carry honey and hives from deep within dense bush and off distant craggy mountain ranges.

Collecting pure manuka from the untouched wilderness is an immense task. We want to minimize our footprint in our beautiful, native forest. So instead of destroying land using bulldozers and other heavy associated machinery to break our way in, our methods cause minimal disruption to our environment. Our beekeepers work 24 hour shifts to bring the harvest home. It’s beyond challenging.
