Buy Raw Honey in Melbourne, Victoria
Melbourne can argue all day about coffee and bread. Fine. This honey has enough grunt to still taste like honey after a flat white and a slab of sourdough.
Why Melbourne locals order from us
People order it because it does not vanish beside coffee, butter, or a decent bakery loaf.
Melbourne will happily argue about single-origin coffee beans for twenty minutes and then put flavourless honey on the side. We reckon the honey deserves the same fuss as the coffee.
The $10 taster is the easy start, the 400g jar is the workhorse, and free shipping kicks in once you hit $49.
How to use desert honey in Melbourne
Spread Finke River honey on sourdough after your first coffee when mild honey will not cut it.
Use River Red Gum over porridge or ricotta toast if you want the smoother end of the batch.

About This Batch
Long haul from Alice Springs - hauled South-East 1,890km to Melbourne - but it travels fine. It's tracked for Melbourne. 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 Melbourne, Victoria 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 Melbourne and beyond reckon
From recent orders around Australia. Different kitchens, same jar.
"Started with the little jar to see if it was all talk. It wasn't. Next order was bigger."

"Not delicate, not floral, not trying to be fancy. Good with buttered sourdough and a flat white. Exactly what I wanted."
Jane K.

"My dad's a honey snob. Gave him a jar without telling him where it was from. He rang me the next day asking for more. That never happens."

Questions from Melbourne
Shipping, jars, and the usual things people in Melbourne ask us.
Orders to Melbourne 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.
Yeah - that's the whole point of it. The Finke River jar's dark enough to hold its own after a strong coffee instead of disappearing into background sweetness like the mild stuff most cafes stock.
"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 Melbourne 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.
