About This Batch
597km South from Alice. Bit of a trek, but the jar does not care. It's tracked for Coober Pedy. Straight from our shed, no middlemen, no blending. Same jar, same bees, just a longer drive to get it to you.
Our bees forage off River Red Gum, Bloodwood and whatever flowers after rain around Alice Springs. Tough natives that cop 45°C summers and months without rain.
Shipping to Coober Pedy, South Australia usually takes 2-6 business days. Finke River if you like it dark, the Desert jar if you don't. Honeycomb when we've got it.
We don't heat-treat our honey. It's cold extracted, so all the enzymes and good stuff stays right where the bees put it.

What people in Coober Pedy and beyond reckon
From recent orders around Australia. Different kitchens, same jar.
"Mine started to grain up after a while. Warm water sorted it in ten minutes. Means it's raw, not cooked to death, so no complaints here."
Michael P.
Port Augusta, SA
"Used it on a cheese board. River Red Gum was easier going, Bloodwood had more punch. Both got finished."
Lina A.
Adelaide, SA
"Bought two big jars. Bloodwood's got a bit of weight to it, which I like. Not the honey for people who want mild, and that's exactly why I reordered."

Questions from Coober Pedy
Shipping, jars, and the usual things people in Coober Pedy ask us.
Orders to Coober Pedy usually land in 2-6 business days from Alice Springs. Shipping is free over $49, otherwise it is a flat $10.
Start with the 150g taster for $10 if you just want a crack. The 400g jar is $25 and makes the most sense for everyday use. The 6-pack is $60 if you are sorting gifts or sharing. Honeycomb is $17.99 when it is in stock.
If you like a stronger spoon in tea or on toast, go Finke River. If you want it light and easy, the Desert jar is the all-rounder.
"Pure" and "natural" are marketing words - they only mean no added sugar, so the honey can still be heated and filtered to death. Raw means it skipped all that. Ours goes straight from the hive into the jar, unheated and unfiltered, so the enzymes and pollen that make honey worth eating are still in there.
Not certified - honest answer is nobody's honey really can be, because bees fly wherever they want. But our hives sit in remote desert country outside Alice Springs, a long way from farms and sprays. The bees work wild River Red Gum, Bloodwood and whatever flowers after rain, which is about as close to organic as honey gets.
Manuka is graded and priced for its antibacterial rating, and a lot of what's on shelves in Coober Pedy barely has one. Ours is a table honey - light River Red Gum or the dark Finke River jar, meant to be eaten, not kept in the medicine cabinet. If you're after flavour instead of an MGO number, desert honey wins on value every time.
