THE PARAKAI HONEY STORY
THE PARAKAI HONEY STORY
At Parakai Honey, we believe in the power of nature to heal, nurture, and bring people together. Based in Auckland, New Zealand, our journey began with a simple yet profound passion - to share the health and wellness benefits of New Zealand’s purest honey with the world. Specializing in mānuka honey, we’ve created a range of products that cater from everyday wellness to powerful healing, bringing the natural goodness of Aotearoa, New Zealand’s Māori name, to your table.
Our story is rooted in the values that define us. As a company proud to have indigenous Māori ownership, we are deeply committed to honoring tikanga (customs and values) in everything we do. Kotahitanga (Unity) drives us to collaborate with respect and balance, while Kaitiakitanga (Sustainability) inspires us to protect and preserve the environment through ethical practices. We act with Tapatahi (Integrity), ensuring transparency and fairness in every decision, and embrace Auahatanga (Innovation) to push the boundaries of what honey can do. Above all, we practice Whakaute (Respect), valuing cultural diversity and treating everyone with dignity.
From our hives to your home, we take pride in sourcing our honey from trusted local apiaries and producing it in our state-of-the-art facility, where the highest food safety standards are upheld. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond honey—we use reusable packaging wherever possible and actively support local community through initiatives like Neighbourhood Support.
The impact of our honey speaks for itself. One of our customers shared how our mānuka honey helped them “recover rapidly from a cold after just one day of use”. Another told us that our mānuka honey settled their child’s “sore tummy within hours”. Stories like these fuel our mission to deliver products that not only taste incredible but also make a real difference in people’s lives.
