Yes, so we exchanged Waikato rain and wind for more of the same at Mt Maunganui this past week.
But our day was brightened when we popped into a shop on the main street and they had a big display of our favourite Horsham Downs honey, complete with little tasters which were whipped onto the counter in a flash.
Tony from Simplifood says Sweetree Honey has only been on sale for about a week and it’s going down a treat. People are already starting to ask for it by name, he says.
Good to see a bit of the Waikato breaking into the Bay!
(Grand shop, by the way. Check it out if your out that way – 237 Maunganui Rd. They had a huge range of gluten free and organic produce.)


It is very good honey, showing my age! it reminds me of the flavour of real honey when a child, 60 years ago!!
That means it’s proper honey, Judy! Forgot to say, Martin and Stephanie have a stall at the Farmers’ Market on River Rd, Sunday from 8am to 12. Nom!
