As Gut Health becomes increasingly more the focus of modern diet and wellness, there are a range of steps to help support your gut. Manuka Honey has been found to be a strong prebiotic¹. Prebiotics are beneficial to colonic bacteria² and thereby have the potential to improve gut health³ and also to improve inflammation of the bowel⁴. Manuka honey also increased the growths of certain Lactobacillus⁵ probiotics and decreased the growths of pathogens like E. coli, perhaps thanks to its antibacterial compounds. A strong gut⁶ is also linked with a strong immunity⁷.

We are thrilled over here at Gather By HQ to be launching our brand new range of Premium Products.

The first of these is the Platinum Range.

Our newest and highest grade of honey with an MGO Rating of between* 1,000 and 1,200, this is some of the highest classification of Manuka Honey in the world.

Super medicinal and highly therapeutic, this Manuka honey is super high strength and is more potent for longer periods and can be used for sore throats/strep, cuts/wounds, MRSA infections like staph as well as acne/skin care.

As a launch special, we are offering the Platinum Range for $199 instead of $239.

At Gather By, our honey is 100% genuine Australian Manuka.

Not only do we grow the Manuka ourselves, but we also employ highly experienced beekeepers to maintain our bees and to collect our honey.

Our honey is harvested from multiple varieties and a diversity of Manuka plants which grow natively here on the East Coast of Australia.

Here's our Happy Crew packing our Happy Honey from our Happy Bees.

 National Honey Library will soon Provide Authenticity of Honey

   There is a project currently underway to trace and track the origins of honey in Australia.
   This project is being conducted by the CRC Centre whom we are Research Partners with (see here).

   In this research project, scientists are collecting thousands of honey samples
   to develop a new national honey library.

   The project is aimed at increasing supply chain transparency by developing
   a new hive-to-shelf traceability system.

   The industry says it's important it has the tools to prove the authenticity of its honey
   following the 2018 adulteration scandal.

Inspiration

I’ve been in sales for the past 35 years, however, I’m the happiest when my wife Kerry and I see Sydney in our rear vision mirror and are going ‘bush’. Before buying our farm South West of Grafton (bottom end of the Northern Rivers), I knew absolutely nothing about living on the land or being a farmer, grower, or planter – that’s where Gather By came in.

After meeting Matt, founder and CEO of Gather By, Kerry and I got excited. The wheels in our heads were spinning, knowing in our hearts that this was our way of getting out of the city and building something meaningful for our retirement (within the next 5-10 years). With guidance from Gather By, we found a suitable property, made our land purchase and we now have around 3,500 plants in the ground with the next 1,250 plants being planted this Spring of 2020.

Crystallisation of any type of honey does happen from time to time, even Manuka, and this is perfectly normal. Pure, raw and unheated honey has a natural tendency to crystallise over time however this has no effect on the honey other than texture, in fact, the crystallisation of honey actually preserves the flavour and quality of your honey.

Gather By Bioactive Manuka Honey is sourced from the pristine bushland on the east coast of Australia. Each batch of honey is independently tested and its provenance is guaranteed from hive to home.
