Goldfields Apiaries sources pure honey from the Australian Beekeeper, hence our moto “Fresh from the Beekeeper”.
Goldfields is a proud family-owned business operated by the Lockwood family, and has been packing honey since 1982. We offer a wide range of packaging options, from 250g jars for individual customers and families, to bulk quantities up to 1,500kg for commercial buyers.
Our honey is available in distinct single-floral varieties, carefully selected for the discerning honey lover. These premium varieties can be sampled and purchased at our honey outlet shop, The Beekeepers Inn, where you’ll find our most recently harvested selections.
We also produce a Mixed Blossom range, which blends honeys from various floral sources depending on what is flowering throughout the season. These blends are thoughtfully created by our beekeeper and honey expert, Sam, who combines different varieties to produce a smooth, well-balanced flavour that’s perfect for the family table.
Goldfields continues to honour its roots by selling honey at local farmers markets, where our journey first began. You’ll also find our products under the Goldfields brand at local IGAs, and we are proud to have been supplying Harris Farm Markets for over 25 years.
In addition to packing under our own Goldfields brand, we also supply honey for major supermarkets under their preferred private labels. Honey is also delivered in IBC containers holding 1,500kg to food manufacturers who use it as an ingredient in products such as cakes, biscuits, and sauces. When honey supply is plentiful, we export to many parts of the world, where Australian honey is highly sought after.
Our packing facilities are located in the Central West of New South Wales, in the small hamlet of Vittoria, which lies midway between Bathurst and Orange. Our factory holds SQF accreditation, a globally recognized food safety certification that ensures the highest standards of quality and hygiene.
Australia produces some of the finest honey in the world. We are fortunate to have hundreds of varieties produced from many different plants, including numerous native eucalypt species that give Australian honey its unique character.
Much of our honey is sourced from our sister company, Goldfields Honey Australia Pty Ltd, which is also owned by the Lockwood family. With expert knowledge, Jon Lockwood understands when and where flowers will produce nectar, ensuring a reliable supply of quality honey.
