This is the story of the tree guardians.

While others glorify the bee, we trace the magic to its source - the tree itself. In fact, further than that - back to the seed that grew the tree and the place and time where it all happens. We understand that it’s the mānuka tree, its DNA, its health and ecosystem that really are the markers of the world’s finest mānuka. 

While everyone makes heroes of the bees we speak for the trees.

For 30 years we’ve been growing mānuka, collecting its seeds and analysing how different plants interact within a diverse range of ecosystems all across Aotearoa, New Zealand. 

This is mānuka honey from ecovitalists.

We’re on a mission to restore and regenerate New Zealand’s precious land and our natural resources.

We know that the best mānuka honey, the honey we proudly share with the world, is the product of life-giving biodiverse ecosystems that must be protected and nurtured with great care. 

At Mānuka Resources we celebrate the magic of Mother Nature’s work and we pour ourselves into her protection, day in and day out.

What’s an ecovitalist?

It’s our own term. It describes eco-specialists who know how to create, and nurture, ecosystems that are sustainable and life-giving for flora, fauna and people. We are biodiversity experts, passionate about restoring Earth to sustainable vitality.

Before we made honey, we had been (and still are) Kauri Park, New Zealand’s largest native nursery for 30 years. We grow, nurture and plant 20 million trees a year. We celebrate the magic of Mother Nature’s work and we pour ourselves into her protection, day in and day out.

For decades we have been growing mānuka, collecting its seeds and analysing how different plants interact within a diverse range of ecosystems all across New Zealand. No-one has the deep research and expertise on mānuka genetics that we do.

Mānuka Resources is a honey brand created by ecovitalists.

New Zealand's biggest tree nursery.

A story to believe and share.
