Helen’s Honey has been supplying Wairarapa with quality honey for over
10 years. We are a small family business that love our bees. It takes a lot of hard work to produce honey, both by the bees and us, and that’s why we take such good care of our honey. Each apiary site produces its own special honey that may change from year to year depending on the climate of the season. Some years the weather is fine in spring and more bush honey is produced. In other years, the warmer weather comes later, and a milder honey is the result. By extracting each site separately, we keep the unique flavours of the site and year. We carefully warm the honey, extract and sieve it, allowing its natural goodness to shine through. We are proud of our product and know that you will enjoy the taste of Wairarapa.

They offer oil tasting each week. They also sell fresh walnuts in their shells, from their walnut grove.

​Zac first came to the market as an 8 year old and told us he wanted to buy land when he was older and thought that selling his grandparent's pine cones would be a good start.  Although he now lives in Picton, Zac visits Nana and Granddad every school holidays and picks up pine cones for them to sell on his behalf during the fire season. We 'take off our hats' to grandparents who help their grandchildren realise their dreams. Let's hope zac gets to buy his piece of land one day.
