The story began with Phil & Sharan Caskey, back in the mid 1990’s, who had a vision to have the traditional Māori knowledge of the Mānuka plant recognised as an important and worthwhile resource for world health. Working alongside the University of Waikato in 2000, and a medical device company in the UK, Phil co-created and registered the first Mānuka honey wound care dressing in the world. It wasn’t until then the real qualities and unique benefits of Mānuka honey were first discovered, and introduced to the world.
Understanding the need for landowners to receive a fair return for the use of their land by beekeepers, Phil set about creating a fair and open agreement between the landowners, beekeepers and processing company. This agreement ensures all parties receive an equal share of the profits from all honey sold. This was the first time any business had ever recognised the support of the landowners in this industry who had previously only received a bottle of wine or envelope of cash at the gate.
Ensuring Melora work with and care for our environment has always been incredibly and inevitably important to them. After all, Mānuka is our precious natural resource. From the moment they step onto the land, Melora re-use, reduce and recycle to keep the environmental footprint as small as possible.
