Super proud of everyone in the team and their contributions making our first exhibition at . Looking forward to day one warming up with good conversations on a positive future for honey in New Zealand. Come see us on stand C48.

Also thanks to all our suppliers who helped with the tight deadlines making this all happen!

If you're at Fieldays this week (specifically Wednesday), make the time for this one.

Our own Logan Bowyer will be speaking at the  Tent Talks Day One, on the future of mānuka, and why we believe the best years for the industry are still ahead.

It's our take on where honey production is heading: the structural shifts already underway, where the real opportunity sits, and why standing still isn't an option.

📍Fieldays Tent Talks Wednesday | 12.30pm

Come and hear the vision, then find us at Site C48 to continue the conversation over a drink!

For the very first time, we're going to be at Fieldays!

Find us at📍Site C48 - we'll be there every day, Wednesday through to Saturday.

Pull up a chair, grab a complimentary drink on us (a @.nz sparkling honey over ice🥂, or a warming hot toddy🍵), and have a yarn with the team.

And if you reckon you can read the green⛳️, sink the putt and you'll go in the draw to win a year's supply of 🍯.

We're looking forward to plenty of good conversations this week - with beekeepers, honey brands, farmers and rural landowners - about where honey production is heading. And from where we sit, the future's looking up!

See you this week at C48.

The first hives of the new harvest season have officially landed - and yes, the team is buzzing.
 
There’s nothing quite like seeing that first flatbed pull in, knowing months of hard work out in the field from the beekeepers are coming home to begin their next chapter.

These hives have come in locally, from the Bay of Plenty, marking the start of a season we’re genuinely excited about.
New honey. New stories. New opportunities for the beekeepers we partner with - and the buyers who rely on us for quality they can trust.

Here’s to a smooth, productive, future-focused harvest.
The gates are open… let’s make this season one to remember!

Over the winter months, we’ve taken time to refresh and relaunch our website: www.manukaorchard.com

Our focus hasn’t changed - everything we do comes back to three simple things:

1. Processing honey
2. Storing honey
3. Selling honey

This new site is a small but meaningful step toward making life easier for the beekeepers, buyers, and partners we are proud to work with.

“Manuka Orchard has always been about supporting people in the honey industry. By focusing on doing the fundamentals better today than yesterday, we can deliver real value for both beekeepers and buyers.” - Logan Bowyer, Manuka Orchard Owner
