New Zealand Native Honey ethically sources and exports across the globe extraordinary Mānuka and Kānuka products, mainly from Tairāwhiti and the East Coast. The B Corp certified organisation is a labour of love for Tairāwhiti-raised founder Brendan Shivnan, in partnership with Joe Harris (Ngāti Maniapoto/Tainui), design kaitiaki (guardian) of the business. Their brand, RāKiwi, was established in 2018 and sells raw Mānuka honey and wild-harvested essential oils, bursting with antioxidant-rich, bioactive properties. New Zealand Native Honey builds partnerships with Māori-owned businesses to measure the impact they create through The Toha Network. Working closely with remote communities to help them thrive, every purchase replants more native forests on New Zealand’s East Coast.
