📍 Moruya, South Coast NSW Inspired by the pristine nature surrounding our home in Moruya on the South Coast of NSW, we create high-quality, 100% Australian honey for families, individuals, and stockists nationwide. Husband-and-wife team Chris & Victoria Rutherford carefully package raw, unfiltered honey from a small team of dedicated Aussie Beekeepers along the East Coast. Our story is deeply rooted in Australian agricultural history, tracing back to the iconic Cobb & Co era, when our ancestors helped connect regional communities. This legacy of hard work and service lives on through Adleys Honey, bringing pure Aussie honey from hive to home.

HISTORY BEHIND EVERY JAR // Long before Adleys Honey became the name on our jars, our family story began on the land around Bathurst, NSW.

Meet James Rutherford - Chris’ third great-grandfather, who lived at Bathampton, built by his father-in-law. This same property would go on to hold another special place in our family’s story generations later.

It was here that Chris’ dad, Geoff Rutherford, began his beekeeping journey in the 80s, continuing a connection to the land that has been passed down through our family.

And there’s one more little piece of history that brings it all together. 💛

The creek running through the property is known as 'Adleys Crossing', the namesake behind our very own Adleys Honey.

From James Rutherford’s days at Bathampton to Geoff’s beekeeping beginnings, and now to Chris and our family carrying the tradition forward, our story is deeply rooted in family, country and a long-standing connection to Australian agriculture.

Every jar represents more than just honey. It carries a little piece of our family’s history along with it 🥹

LIFE LATELY // It's been busy, it's been full and most of all it's been an adventure!

The whole purpose of ADLEYS HONEY is to create something special for them, our boys! To give them a life where they can be intertwined in ours every day.

Over the past few weeks they have helped with fencing (for their new goats), taken many photos of bees, planted numerous veggies in the garden with Dad, fed and cuddled the cow and explored every Woolworths and Coles store from the South Coast to the Pilliga forest near Coonabarabran in North West NSW!

Thank you for continuing to support our vision, for buying our honey and allowing us to make life special for these three! 🥹🐝

What an incredible morning yesterday was! 🍯🐝

When a beautiful local teacher asked if we'd share our knowledge with her class for their *Science in the Making* project, we couldn't say no.

Yesterday Chris spent the morning with the students, sharing all things bees and honey. The kids got to see real beekeeping equipment, learn how a smoker works, try fresh honeycomb straight from the hive, and even dress up in bee suits. Their curiosity, questions and excitement were amazing to see and what makes what we do matter!

It's such a privilege to help the next generation understand where their food comes from, why bees are so important to our environment, and the vital role beekeepers play in caring for them.

A huge thank you for inviting us to be part of such a wonderful project. We can't wait to see where the students take it next! 💛🐝🍯

A long one but some things need to be said...

This is a little snapshot about our journey when it comes to honey packing, the push for cheaper imported 'honey' and the role that each of us has to play to make a difference! Because we can, despite all the negativity out there!

Do you believe that all honey on the supermarket shelves should be 100% Australian?

Yes?!

Then let's only buy Australian, stop buying products that are imported, stop supplying the companies that put the industry at risk simply to increase their profit margins!

If a business imports when it is available in Australia, don't buy their products...find the brands doing the right thing! Support Aussie farmers and industries first!

It's not going to be easy, or a quick fix but I believe we all have a role to play! 🐝🍯🫶

This photo represents years of work!

These pallets of honey are heading to Woolworths after another 149 stores began stocking Adleys Honey just a few weeks ago.

Yesterday, so many of you found us after a conversation about supporting Australian food producers. We honestly didn't expect the response.

To everyone who commented, shared, followed us or has bought a jar of Adleys Honey over the years, thank you!

We're a small family business on the NSW South Coast, packing 100% Australian honey sourced from a small, select group of Australian beekeepers. Getting onto supermarket shelves wasn't easy! It took years of meetings in the big smoke (often with a baby in my arms), improving our products and believing that a regional family business deserved a place alongside the biggest brands.

If you're doing the grocery shopping this week, take a look along the honey aisle. Whether it's Adleys Honey or another Australian family-owned brand, every purchase helps keep local businesses and Australian beekeepers thriving...always buy 💯 Australian!

Welcome to everyone who's joined us over the past 24 hours. We can't wait to share more of what goes on behind the scenes. 🐝💛

Every squeeze starts with millions of hardworking bees and their Aussie Beekeepers.
We're just lucky enough to bottle what they create and get to share it with you 🥰

Long weekends look like this for us 🧡

Animals to feed, fences to build…and moments like this in between.

It’s not always slow, but every now and then everything just stops for a second (and I manage to snap something pretty in the middle of the chaos 😝)

This is the life behind our honey. 🐝🍯

Built in open paddocks, as the sun sets, surrounded by gum trees...

We Will Remember Them.
Lest We Forget.

This morning we paused, like so many across the country, to stand in the quiet of the dawn and reflect.

On courage. On sacrifice. On the men and women who have given so much for the life we’re able to live today.

From the stillness of the service to the rising sun over the coast, it’s a reminder of what truly matters...community, resilience and gratitude.

Today, we remember. Always.
