Beekeeping since 1974. 5+ UMF. MGO 83+. Nature's most powerful honey. In 1974, Claude Stratford and I began beekeeping with a passion for connecting people to nature and good health. Upon discovering Manuka's unique properties, we felt compelled to bring it to the world. Over 45 years later, our commitment to craft continues, sharing this natural wonder from our remote and pristine forests in New Zealand. - Alan Bougen, Co-founder. UMF 5+ is scientifically proven to contain a minimum 83 mg/kg of Methylglyoxal (MGO), a natural occurring compound in Manuka Honey. As this is a natural product, its color may vary.
