More than ever it is important to support your local beekeeper - especially if you are in New South Wales. Plus local honey tastes better 😉
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We have been watching the Verroa Mite issue unfolding in the NSW region and have been absolutely gutted for those beekeepers who have had their hives destroyed in the hope that it can be eradicated before it takes hold in Australia. Word is over 1800 hives have been euthanised in the last month. 😲 😢
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Verroa mite is a parasite that feeds off honey bees and is a significant threat to our honey bee, and in turn potentially supply of our nuts, fruits and vegetables.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
IF you are wondering how you can help - buy real Australian honey and support the Australian beekeeping industry.

We are thrilled to become a stockist for Pioneer Valley Produce; featuring their honey and handmade items in our gift boxes.

Set in the lush Pioneer Valley, these are some very happy bees which make for some VERY delicious honey.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The concept of Pioneer Valley Produce was born out of Pat and Aly’s desire to grow and supply amazing produce to their family and community. With a growing family they wanted access to fresh organic produce to support their health while also supporting the environment. Their focus on honey is just the start of a very big (& exciting) dream.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why we love Pioneer Valley Produce Honey?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✔️ It’s raw, strained once & not heated - preserving all its magical golden goodness.
✔️ Raw honey contains natural antioxidants, antibacterial properties and phytonutrients.
✔️ It is hand extracted in small batches.
✔️ The flavours change with the season.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sustainability and biodynamic farming is part of the core values of Pioneer Valley Produce and every decision is a conscious one.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All honey comes in Australian made glass jars featuring biodegradable labels. In the spirit of community all labels feature artwork of local artists, making them the perfect centrepiece for your brunch table, platter party or gift box.

**Unfortunately we can’t ship bee products to WA, but anywhere else we will happily ship this golden goodness, it would be rude not to share, right?
