Blue Hills Honey
For over 65 years, situated amidst the pristine wilderness of Tasmania, Blue Hills Honey has been a family-run farm for honey connoisseurs worldwide. Founded by Robbie Charles’ family, this honey farm boasts a legacy of harvesting some of the world’s finest Leatherwood Honey.
Blue Hills Honey takes pride in its 100% Australian-sourced honey. Their bees, the busy architects of this liquid gold, flit through the ancient rainforests of Tasmania, particularly the Tarkine wilderness, a place for the elusive Leatherwood tree. The nectar collected by these bees transforms into a honey renowned for its exceptional taste and potent health benefits.
