About Us

Cultivating Harmony Between People And The Planet, One Jar At A Time.

Southern Gold isn’t just in the business of honey. We’re part of a movement — a movement towards mindful consumption where quality, sustainability, and fairness to farmers are at the core of what we do.

Our Story

Southern Gold was founded from a strong desire to make the world a better place. Our vision goes beyond just honey — we aim to build a sustainability network of companies and communities working together to protect nature, support farmers, and inspire mindful consumption. By collaborating with like-minded individuals and organisations, we believe we can create lasting change, starting with something as simple as raw, authentic honey.

In a world where adulterated and irradiated products have become far too common, we’ve chosen a different path. Our honey is crafted with integrity — no shortcuts, no additives — just the best of what nature offers, preserved through care and respect.

Purity & Quality

Every batch is scientifically tested to guarantee authenticity, so you can trust that what’s inside is real honey, nothing else.

Support for Farmers

We pay above market rates and proudly carry our beekeepers’ names on our jars, because they are the heart of what we do.

Environmental Responsibility

From our packaging to our production, we’re committed to treading lightly and protecting the natural world.

Bee Conservation

For every 25 kilograms of honey sold, we plant a tree through The Bee Effect’s Trees for Bees Project, creating forage and habitats that strengthen pollinator health.

Our Honey Is Meticulously Processed

Our honey is raw, local, sustainably and ethically harvested, and never adulterated. We work gently with each batch — often receiving it crystallised, then slowly warming it between 41–44°C over several days, allowing the honey to liquefy gently without ever damaging its natural enzymes or health-giving properties. The result is a product that retains its integrity, flavour, and vitality — honey as it should be.

The Bigger Picture

Southern Gold is just the beginning. Our vision is to cultivate harmony between people and the planet — starting with something as simple as a jar of honey. As we grow, we will expand into other sustainability-driven projects that continue to support communities and nature across South Africa.

Our Promise

Southern Gold represents more than just a product. Every sale helps protect bee populations, supports local farmers, and promotes healthier ecosystems. We are building a brand synonymous with trust, fairness, and eco-conscious living.
