Steens Honey is New Zealand's leading producer of high grade UMF Manuka honey. The company was started by Paul & Sheryl Steens because they wanted to bring a better-quality Manuka to market; one that is raw, unpasteurised and minimally processed - just as Nature intended. Our ethos is one of a sustainable partnership with Nature - as without her we don’t have a business. Steens combines its 35 years of beekeeping know-how and cutting edge technology into all aspects of its hive, honey management and extraction techniques. This delivers more honey and sustainable, stronger overall return for all its partners – both landowners and the environment alike.
