Crafted in the Alpine Triangle

Mt Lyford Honey is a boutique producer of rare, small-batch honey from the high country of New Zealand.

In the remote and untouched Amuri Ranges in North Canterbury, our bees forage freely across wild mānuka, black beech forests, and alpine meadows to craft honey defined by landscape, season, and altitude.

Unblended. Untreated. True to its origin.

Located just minutes from Mt Lyford Village, and neighbours to Terako Downs and Rodin Cars, we are part of a uniquely diverse alpine region.
