The Flower Power Honey Story
Meet the Flower
​
Born out of our love for each other and the natural wonders of life
Sophie ( a Kiwi ) and Cory ( a Canuck )
began pouring the honey into jars.
We then brought the honey to the local market and haven't stopped since.
What came forth with the desire to serve our New Zealand community is Flower Power Honey.
Flower Power is so much more than honey it is a belief in the fertility of flowers and life,
to grow an abundance that can be shared to nourish everyone in our lives.
Driven by the dream to create a sustainable way of life both at home and in business we
began to nourish the seed that was Flower Power Honey and soon found ourselves set up nicely
in our little hexagonal shop The Honey Pot at the Takaka Community Gardens.
​
With consistent nourishment from seed to flower, we began to grow and are now blossoming
so that all can share in the beauty of the co-created love for the community as a whole.
​
Sophie Trueman was one of Flower Power Honey's first customers,
and well needless to say it became a love story.
She poured her heart into the Flower Power dream and made it her own.
In the photo above she shines like a star for an interview at market,
later to be posted on Stuff.co.nz.
​
When not at the market you will most likely find her at
The Honey Pot
This shop, situated next to our garden,
stocks local Artisan Foods and serves local Chai, Coffee and Cocoa.
Either in the garden or in the store
it is hard to miss this radiant woman.
Meet the Power
Cory Stessen's passion for discovering the mysteries of nature were
born from his Canadian roots.
The first photo captures Cory's first time ever inside a beehive on the big island of Hawaii in 2014.
Just days before he was stung on the forehead by one of the bees from these hives.
Despite several days of severe swelling that left Cory unable to see on the third day after the sting
he was still determined to enter the hives and taste that sweet honey.
Cory returned to New Zealand with the dream of making Manuka Honey,
and with hard work and perseverance the dream came true to make New Zealand home.
It is said that the bees choose the beekeeper,
Cory is kept by the bees...
and Sophie.
