RāKiwi was established in 2018 by New Zealand Native Honey Products. Founded by Tairāwhiti-raised Brendan Shivnan and guided by design kaitiaki (guardian) Joe Harris (Ngāti Maniapoto/Tainui), RāKiwi is a labor of love committed to quality, sustainability, and community.

We work closely with a trusted network of independent beekeepers, farmers, Māori-owned businesses, and community members across New Zealand to deliver exceptional honey products while positively impacting our people and the planet.

Mānuka products are world-renowned for their anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Our honey and essential oil are hand-harvested with care, ensuring no harm to bees and minimal impact on trees. All our products are raw-processed to preserve heat-sensitive nutrients and bioactive compounds.

At RāKiwi, we believe in giving back to nature. To support sustainability and help restore lost forests, we donate 2% of our revenue to the Toha Network on New Zealand’s northern East Coast. This initiative plants native tree seedlings on Māori land, helping convert pasture into thriving subtropical native forests.
