Spread a little cheer with our easy-peasy Honey Cherry Vanilla Muffins and get the best out of Musanya’s pure African honey and seasonal cherries.

We’re always talking about the quality of the honey we harvest. Of course we are. We love the flavour, we love its purity and best of all, we are proud of how our honey is changing lives in remote parts of Africa.

Superfood honeys fuel your body so it can fight back against chronic disease and other nutrient deficiencies. Our honey comes from small, African producers to encourage sustainable development in rural communities.

Creating small business opportunities for people in remote rural communities is all part of the promise of Musanya’s sustainable beekeeping project.

Whoever coined the phrase “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”, never tried to move freight overland into the remote reaches of the Miombo Woodlands. The terrain is achingly beautiful, but unrelentingly rugged. It is hard on humans and savage on equipment.

The production of honey through our beekeeping projects in the Miombo Woodlands has a delicious effect on this threatened biosphere.

Creating sustainable incomes for people in developing countries is a vital step in ensuring access to the kind of economic resilience required to lift people out of poverty. The watchword here is ‘sustainable’. Development organisations and NGOs globally have environmental concerns as a subtext to all their operations.

From its earliest beginning, Musanya Honey Co’s mission has been to encourage people to make a sustainable living from their natural environment. Socio-economic upliftment is a key part of our drive, but it is vital that this happens through “trade rather than aid”. It makes sense to empower people to determine their own future, rather than giving handouts.

For us at Musanya Honey, a hive isn’t just a box with some bees in it. It is so much more. It’s school fees for an impoverished rural child, running water for a village, family planning and primary healthcare for families. The list of benefits beekeeping can deliver to communities in a developing economy is a long one.

Musanya Honey Co. is, as the name suggests, a company that gathers and sells honey. This golden liquid is at the centre of our business of course, but we exist because of people. If honey is the heart of Musanya, then people are its soul.
