Handcrafted with care, in small batches and harvested and packed in New Zealand, Hinterland goes the extra mile with rigorous testing and certifications. Hinterland is USDA Certified Organic (also AsureQuality, New Zealand Government), non-GMO verified and Kosher certified. The Hinterland honey range is beautifully presented in eco-friendly glass jars to encourage reuse and recycling.

Founded by Sarah Wells, a fifth-generation farmer on her family-owned farm, Sarah is the lead beekeeper of Hinterland (her team includes two other female beekeepers Fiona Gallagher and Tash Logan who help her look after the hives). The mom of three left a successful broadcasting career to return to her family roots and farm in the remote Central North Island High Country to enjoy a slower-paced lifestyle.

“We are thrilled to give honey lovers and those new to our “liquid gold” a whole new experience enjoying our honey,” said Sarah Wells, Founder of Hinterland Organic Manuka Honey. “In addition to providing customers with the finest Organic Manuka available on the market, our mission is to educate them on all things Manuka including the process, the land, the people and the benefits.”

Hinterland translates to ‘the place behind’ and perfectly describes where the honey originates from and where Sarah and her team are based encompassing winding dirt roads, huge mountains, and vast landscapes – miles from any towns or cities. This is a fitting description of the wild and remote places of Whanganui where Hinterland’s bees forage to collect their certified organic Manuka Honey.

The hives in Hinterland’s remote location are not exposed to any sprays, pesticides, or insecticides. Their only exposure is to Mother Nature. The family’s farming practices are organic and regenerative. Sarah’s grandfather established a 2,000-acre private scenic reserve on one of the properties and it was here with its density of manuka that Sarah was inspired to start beekeeping, with the aim of producing the highest grade of certified organic Manuka honey. As the owners of the land their hives reside on, Hinterland can apply care and traceability at every stage of production, from sustainability to harvesting and marketing. The unique color and taste of Hinterland Honey is specific to the forests where they have been harvested, and like a fine whiskey, their honey will grow in character as it ages over time.

About The Hinterland Organic Manuka Honey Whakatauaki

A Whakatauaki is a ‘proverb” and in Maori culture it is customary for these proverbs to be ‘gifted’ – To Aroha’ was gifted to Hinterland from the people of Mokai Patea and it was important for Hinterland to receive this so they can not only share this extraordinary Manuka Honey and the land and the people of Mokai Patea, where the honey originates – This is at the heart of the company.
