AssuraHoney Masterton family business – tasty clover honey for sale

Four of us boys from Masterton have clover honey for sale at the Wairarapa Farmers’ Market on a Saturday morning (http://waifarmersmarket.org.nz/).

And this is not just any old clover honey for sale; it’s 100% pure pastoral floral clover honey, which is homegrown in rural Masterton. We move the hives about on our farm to ensure our bees can forage well all year round. As a result, this tasty clover honey is out of the box! It has the right mix of pastoral sweet and multi-floral flavour. It’s a buzz getting feedback from our happy tasters and AssuraHoney clients.

AssuraHoney tips on why honey crystallization is a good thing

We’ve been asked why honey doesn’t always stay liquid like it is in the photo and whether crystallization means it’s gone off. We particularly like the explanation on this website https://www.powerblanket.com/b...

AssuraHoney tips on easy ways to de-crystallize honey

We find the easiest way to de-crystallize honey is to spread it on hot toast, add it to your baking or mix it in with your hot roast veges. Or dip your spoon in boiling water, dry the spoon well, scoop out some clover honey and eat it directly (don’t burn your mouth!).

Just enjoy it!

AssuraHoney’s homegrown rugged hard-yakka: bees & boys and their common ground

We’re in this homegrown honey-selling business to contribute towards our uni and study fees. Some of us have completed degrees at Otago University and Canterbury University or are studying at Massey University or at the Auckland Chiropractic College.

We’ve played rugby for years and have spent hours travelling great distances; from Otago to Auckland and just about everywhere in between. One is currently playing for a third season in a Division 1 team in Seville, Spain after playing in Zaragoza and Madrid, plus for the National 7s team in Germany.

This means we have a healthy respect for the hard yards, travelling distances and teamwork that enable bees to produce such an outstanding result . . . especially our pastoral floral honey with a clover base.

Since 2016 we’ve learnt how to build up and maintain our hives, work long hours (often at night when the bees are quiet) and find sunny, protected and nutritious locations so our bees can bring this tasty 100% pure homegrown product to our family, friends, rugby mates, farming families and wider Masterton community contacts.

Of course, any long-term sustainable producer business must also tick all the regulatory boxes. We’re registered to sell clover honey and we’ve learnt a lot during this process to ensure the 100% pure honey that’s extracted stays that way before you spread it on your toast, add it to your muffins or mix up a special dressing on your roast veges (combine a bit of honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil and rock salt . . . yum).
