The Manuka tree, a relative to the Tea Tree, grows abundantly throughout New Zealand, often in extremely rugged and remote terrain. When hives are placed in areas where these Manuka trees dominate the landscape, bees feed off the nectar. The result? Manuka Honey! Unpasteurized, raw and delicious, free of antibiotics / pesticides / glyphosate, naturally Gluten-Free, AIP and Paleo friendly, Kosher Certified, and Non-GMO Project Verified! Wedderspoon manuka honey is sourced from New Zealand’s north and south islands; this is where our beekeeping partners tend to and transport the hives for harvest. Our Manuka Honey is produced using a raw creaming process to maintain all of the naturally-occurring beneficial wellness properties inherent in this unique functional food. We take pride in harvesting, packaging, and labelling all of our Manuka Honey in New Zealand to ensure we are meeting the highest standards for quality and authenticity. We are proud to bear the FernMark license on our Manuka Honeys. The FernMark is formal recognition of our role as an ambassador of the New Zealand story and serves as a third party verification that our products are authentically from New Zealand.
