Our Mission
Replanting Australia’s native Leptospermum.
"Australia’s native Leptospermum — the trees that produce Manuka honey — have been largely wiped out over decades of land clearing. We’re bringing them back."
Gather By, together with farmers and First Nations communities, is replanting native Manuka trees along the east coast of Australia. Our approach is unique: the Medicinal Manuka Honey Forest™ (MHF) model combines a biodiverse selection of highly-active Australian Leptospermum with specifically curated bee-fodder plants — creating resilient, productive, and ecologically valuable landscapes.
Australian farmers and beekeepers working with us are building something larger than a business. They’re rebuilding a native industry.
