Peak Crossing, Queensland
Three generations of it
Murray Arkadieff keeps over 1,400 hives out of Peak Crossing and works them from south east Queensland into New South Wales and Victoria. He is the second generation to do it. His parents, Len and Mary, ran Golden Ark Honey before him.
Farmgate Honey has been trading since 2016. Most of what comes off the hives has gone out in bulk. This is the part where it stops doing that, and goes into jars with the paddock and the date on them.
Why the batch code matters
You can check us
With this season's labels, every jar will carry a batch code. Type it in and you will get the apiary it came from, the week it was taken off, what was flowering, and the moisture reading.
It is the one thing a supermarket shelf structurally cannot print.
