Wild and unruly, it blooms abundantly only for a brief, precious window each year. When that season arrives, we wait with quiet reverence, then gently gather what the bees have made.

Pure wild mānuka honey.

How it began

In 2014, Brett and Lorinda Mascull acquired a vast parcel of remote, uncultivated land in Taranaki - wild terrain woven thick with native mānuka that few people had ventured into.

The early years weren't easy. Yet we believed in the land, in the bees, and in the possibility of creating something honest and extraordinary from this wild corner of the world.

From our hands to yours

Unlike many brands, we raise our honey from ground to jar. Family-owned and vertically integrated - we manage every step ourselves. No middlemen. No compromises. Every batch carries the fingerprint of the land and the quiet dedication of the people who live close to it.

The Fertile Magic of Taranaki
Mānuka grows best where most things won't - on steep ridges, in rugged soils that remember ancient volcanic fires. Here, our bees feast on uninterrupted mānuka nectar, untouched by commercial crops or synthetic chemicals. It's this perfect collision of altitude, isolation, and soil fertility that gives our honey its remarkable potency and its unmistakably Taranaki taste.

Family by Blood. Family by Bees.
What began as a bold experiment has grown into one of New Zealand's most respected mānuka honey producers, yet it remains steadfastly a family affair. When we're not working, you'll find us hiking the bush, riding the waves, or sitting around the table with muddy boots and tired smiles. The outdoors is our way of life - a reflection of people who understand that the best things cannot be rushed.

Every batch of our mānuka honey carries the fingerprint of the land and the quiet dedication of the people who live close to it.
