Egmont Honey

It began in 2008. A beehive may seem like an unusual present, but for committed conservationist Toby Annabell, it was perfect. Gifted by his son James, this hive sparked a passion for authentic Mānuka Honey and ethical beekeeping. This passion fuelled the growth of that single hive into 100, then 1,000, and eventually the 4,000 that are now nestled into the native bush of the Annabell's South Taranaki farm. Dense, rich honey flows straight to our purpose-built factory right here in New Plymouth, Taranaki. Just like any good hive, our factory has its own worker bees. Our amazing team oversees the filling and labelling of up to 15,000 honey jars per day. It's bottled here, and shipped everywhere; with our honey now being exported to over 20 countries, people all over the world are enjoying the West Coast on their toast. Despite the wild growth of Egmont Honey, the founding Annabell duo are still fiercely hands on, with James as CEO and Toby as Operations Director.
