Discover Our Most Loved Honeys
Exceptional Honey. Distinct by Nature.
What Most Honey Producers Won't Tell You
How your honey is made matters more than what’s on the label.
Real Artisan Honey
Our honey is never blended or standardised, so each harvest naturally reflects the unique season, landscape and floral conditions.
That's a hallmark of true artisan honey.
Most honey producers blend batches to achieve the same appearance and texture each year. Our variability is evidence that each harvest is genuine from the hive.
Crafted in the Alpine High Country
Mt Lyford Honey is a boutique producer of rare, small-batch New Zealand honey from the alpine high country of Mt Lyford, North Canterbury.
Our bees forage across wild mānuka, native beech forests, and alpine meadows, producing distinctive raw honey shaped by altitude, season, and location.
Every harvest reflects the unique alpine environment in which it was gathered, creating premium honey with a flavour and character that can only come from this remarkable part of New Zealand.
A Family Legacy
For generations, our family has cared for bees and harvested New Zealand honey in some of the country's most remote alpine landscapes.
Life in the high country is shaped by the seasons. From snow-covered winters and rugged mountain conditions to intense summer sun and brief flowering windows, nature dictates the rhythm of our work.
With decades of beekeeping experience, we remain committed to traditional beekeeping practices, small-batch honey production, and allowing nature to guide every harvest.
