Award winning honey and Australian grown Juniper - Meet Lucy from Australian High Country Honey

April 10, 2024 • Grown Not Flown

In this weeks episode we chat with Lucy Vincent who along with partner Bruce, runs Australian High Country Honey.

Lucy's family farm was purchased in 1976 & has been subject to sustainable farming practices in order to improve the landscape health & biodiversity, farm profitability & the ability to cope with natural adversity of drought, fire & flood. With recent succession to the next generation, Lucy is working hard to integrate juniper & bioactive honey production into the family property & create a sustainable farming future & lifestyle.

We talk about Honey Production, how raw honey differs from not raw honey and also about how a varroa mite potentially threatens their hives. As well as their recent success at the National Honey Awards with their Snow Gum Honey.

We also touch on their newer project of planting Australian Juniper and how they are leading the charge in Australia to get their juniper into Australian Gin.
