Mountain Valley Honey is a family honey business at 259 Main Road, Spring Grove, in Brightwater, Tasman. It sells raw New Zealand honey from the top of the South Island, and the company says it keeps processing to a minimum. The honey is raw, unpasteurised and uncreamed, and the bees forage in remote native forests, mountains and valleys. The range named on the site includes Native Bush, Kanuka and Beech Honeydew honeys, a Six Honey Gift Box, and Mānuka honey graded MGO 83+, 265+, 356+ and 514+. Prices as at 2026 run from $9.95 for Native Bush and Beech Honeydew up to $52.45 for the MGO 514+ Mānuka. Customers who have written about it praise the flavour, the long-lasting clear jars and the Kamahi honey. Several say it is good for baking, and that the service is friendly, both online and at the Saturday market in Nelson.
The business was taken over by Matt and Sarah Goldsworthy in December 2024, and they describe it as a continuation of the family's work. A loyalty club, The Honey Pot, gives 10% off selected products and free shipping on orders over $150. The Kanuka and Beech Honeydew honeys are the two most distinctive here, and the Mānuka grades are the choice for someone who wants the higher MGO numbers. For a South Island buyer looking for a local honey with a clear origin, the farm's focus on wild, remote forest sites makes it an easy pick.
