Kia ora, I’m Sarah Wells, Head Beekeeper and founder of Land Girl Organics.
My family have been farming and caring for this remote land for five generations. I continue in their footsteps today, using sustainable farming practices, with my husband Tom and our three children.
Establishing Mānuka hives on this land was a no-brainer, our remote location in New Zealand’s North Island means our honey is free of pesticides and insecticides – enabling us to proudly achieve organic certification, which is extremely rare among NZ Mānuka honey producers.
Care-takers
Our organic honey is very precious and we ethically harvest in small batches with great care. Supporting local rural families is important to us, our beekeepers are part of the Land Girl family and together we are dedicated to providing a product that is 100% natural, respectful of the environment, preserving the ecosystem of this land. All of our honey is traceable.
We are committed to the environment and to your health – we are the only New Zealand brand packaging organic Mānuka honey in glass jars instead of plastic. Glass is non-reactive, preserving honey's quality, flavor, and natural enzymes without the risk of leaching chemicals. Additionally, glass is more environmentally friendly and recyclable.
Certified Organic
Achieving organic certification is what sets us apart from competitors. Because our hives are so remote, Mānuka flowers, bees and honey are not exposed to any pesticides or insecticides. Our honey has been accredited USDA Certified Organic, NON GMO Verified and Kosher Certified. Only certified organic is the most natural and finest quality Mānuka honey on the market, offering the greatest health benefits.
Holistic & Transparent
It is our mission to work with the land, nature and bees in a harmonious manner to ensure no corners are cut, providing you with exceptional organic Mānuka honey. We oversee all aspects of the production process, from harvesting to packing and marketing, which means we can proudly make the process transparent for our customers.
Family Heritage
Our family have been farming using sustainable practices for five generations. Knowledge gained over the centuries has been past onto each generation – sustainability and care of the land and its people, underpins everything we do. We are a small business, located in a remote mountainous area of New Zealand's North Island.
Our Journey to Organic
My grandfather established a 2000 acre private scenic reserve on our farm, that included dense Mānuka trees. This untouched forest inspired us to start beekeeping, and in 2016 we embarked on the process to produce the highest grade of Certified Organic Mānuka honey.
