Long regarded for purity, authenticity, and fully traceable origins, Taylor Pass Honey is now certified as a B Corporation, furthering the company’s commitment toward operating ethically and sustainably at an exceptional level as a fully vertically integrated business, controlling every step from hive to jar, for full product traceability, food safety, and authenticity.

Our decisions are made with lasting good in mind. Now, it’s wonderful to have the accreditation from B Lab that attests to these high standards.” Taylor Pass Honey is committed to being a force for good. Inspired by the bees who have the lightest footprint on their environment, Taylor Pass Honey’s sustainability mission is at the core of every step the company takes, from sustainable beekeeping practices, focused on maintaining the fragile balance of the natural ecosystem, to producing a delicious superfood which enhances the wellness of the community. Land is at the heart of Taylor Pass Honey’s operation, with healthy hives and healthy bees dependent on a healthy environment. Taylor Pass Honey operates two beekeeping bases in the breathtakingly beautiful environments of Blenheim and Wanaka. Nestled among mountains and valleys, the bees work the unique flora to produce honey with the signature flavours and properties of the land. Taylor Pass Honey’s employees represent the spirit of the company, with honey as the fruition of their work, care, and passion. “It’s work that comes naturally to all of us here at Taylor Pass Honey, whether a beekeeper, scientist, technician, landowner, or truck driver, every job matters,” Hadleigh says. “We actively encourage staff, suppliers, and other key stakeholders to share their ideas. They are after all the foundation of the company.” Proudly privately New Zealand owned, Taylor Pass Honey fosters strong relationships with the landowners who house its hives, and treats their properties with respect and care. While caring for hives and bees, Taylor Pass Honey ensures the minimum amount of impact on landowners’ lives, land, and businesses. The land, the bees, and Taylor Pass Honey are all connected, and the company is committed to its responsibility to look after it all, to help its communities thrive, and to be able to hand a better world on to the next generation.
