Tai Tokerau Honey Ltd is a 100% Maori owned and operated beekeeping company, specialising in the production of the famous Mānuka Honey. We are located in Kaitaia, in the beautiful Far North of Aotearoa (New Zealand) and this region is also known as Te Taitokerau. After forming the company in 2009, Rob and Lonnie spent years of focusing on producing high quality mānuka honey, until 2018 when the decision was made to try and target the global market with our own brand. Unfortunately, COVID-19 has had a huge impact on this side of the company - so if you want to market our honey please contact us!

We currently run approximately 2000 hives, and while we are based in Kaitaia, in the beautiful Far North of New Zealand, over the summer months when it is the honey-making season, we chase the Mānuka flower all over the North Island! In past years, we have managed our hives as far south as Taranaki across the Central Plateau, out to East Cape, and many places in between!

We also have our very own Extraction and Processing plants - so you are guaranteed an authentic product from our hives to your hands.

Here at Tai Tokerau Honey Ltd, we have a strong tikanga (values, beliefs) that guides our daily operations and interactions. Our tikanga incorporates the way Māori see the world, and is based on the knowledge of our ancestors that has been passed down from generation to generation. We take great pride in maintaining healthy, happy bees, and our beekeepers, who do not always wear gloves, handle the hives with the care and respect they deserve.
