The leatherwood honey produced by this family-owned business has been a permanent fixture in Australian pantries for nearly a century. The company harvests in the catchment area of the Franklin River and produces 35% of Tasmania's commercial honey crop. Head to its Mole Creek factory to taste and buy a jar adorned with the company's distinctive 1930s 'golden bee' labelling.
