New Zealand Fernmark, Explained

You'll spot a small fern-shaped symbol on Wedderspoon's labels, the New Zealand Fernmark. Here's what it genuinely stands for.

The Fernmark is a registered trademark managed by the New Zealand government, and it's not handed out lightly. To carry it, a brand has to meet strict quality and origin criteria, so it's a real assurance that the honey genuinely comes from New Zealand, is processed to a proper standard, and is traceable back to source, rather than just a nice-looking sticker.

It also reflects Wedderspoon's wider approach: supporting the beekeepers and communities behind the honey, not just the honey itself.
