April 2020 ENews

During April we have continued with robust, timely and ever-positive responses to Government guidelines and restrictions around COVID-19. The Markets have remained open during this period thanks to a very hard working and dedicated team and collegial shoppers. The Nursery is powering along and we continue to think BIG about the future. We are delighted to see the global movement towards home grown food and hope you are inspired by this too!

Honeyhunters Australia at Northey St Organic Farmers Market

Honeyhunters Australia

Simon and Ruth Chatburn have had their Honeyhunters Australia Stall at Northey Street Organic Farmers Market for over 4 years. It’s a family business with their kids Jonathan and Elise, and Elise’s partner Duncan, who often staff the stall on a Sunday with their happy faces. Stall owner and beekeeper Simon Chatburn realized 25 years ago there are many useful beekeeping products from the forests, not only honey, that could help people live in good health and with sustainable lifestyles. Beehive products have been used traditionally worldwide to enhance health and wellness, and their range has top quality beekeeping products for customers.

While some honey companies have been caught out diluting their honey with sugar syrups, at Honeyhunters Australia you can buy top quality organic raw honey in a reusable glass jar. Their honey is seriously delicious. They produce and sell all beehive products including many Eucalyptus honey varieties, Jellybush Honey (Australian Manuka), Honeycomb, Bee Pollen, Bee Bread, Beeswax, Beeswax Wrappers, Propolis, Bee Venom Cream and Natural Skin Care Products, only from beehive ingredients.

Honeyhunters Australia bee hive sites are in National Parks and State Forests in Queensland. They believe retaining the status of organic safeguards the integrity of their products to offer general wellness to their customers. Their products have been audited by B-Qual and are compliant to HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) and by AUS-QUAL for Certified Organic status since July 2019.

Simon and Ruth have traveled to Germany, Romania, Slovenia and Canada to attend international conferences and workshops to keep abreast of Apitherapy state-of-the-art of beekeeping regularly. They love to share their passions and knowledge on beekeeping with amateur beekeepers and on Apitherapy i.e. using beehive products to enhance wellness with all customers.

They celebrate World Bee Day at the markets and campaign to Save the Bees. Educating the community on why saving bees is important and to stop the manufacturing of fake honey and the use of harmful pesticides and herbicides that harm bee populations.

We are very excited to have the Honeyhunters Australia stall join our monthly Friday Night Market. They will be attending the launch of our Friday Night market on the Summer Solstice, December 20th. Whether you come to our weekly Sunday Organic Market or our Monthly Friday Night Organic Market, go say hello to Ruth or Simon and check out their awesome range of beehive products.

What is better than buying someone a big jar of raw honey for Christmas?

Beneficial Bugs

 

Good bugs are essential to our survival.

Ladybirds, praying mantids, lacewings and hover-flies, eat the aphids, mites and caterpillars that attack our plants. Honey bees, native bees, butterflies and moths pollinate our plants, giving us flowers, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains and vegetables.

We can encourage healthy populations of good bugs.

Choose not to spray insecticides or fly sprays at home and in the garden.

Buy certified organic or chemical free products

Plant bug attracting flowers.

Ladybirds are attracted to big, flat flowers like marigolds and calendula. Honeybees like flowers full of sticky pollen, like dandelions, borage and lavender. Native stingless bees really like the delicate flowers of tea trees, bottle brush and rosemary.

For all your plant needs and advice visit City Farm Nursery
