Jarah trees are very slow-growing, taking up to 120 years to reach maturity, and live for up 1,000 years. The trees grow up to 40 metres tall with a large leaf canopy, and trunks up to 3 metres in diameter. They typically produce flowers only once every two years, from late spring to early summer. However, the flowering pattern is variable as it depends on sufficient rainfall during winter and warmth during spring.
Western Australian Jarrah trees only flower once every two years meaning that Jarrah Honey harvesting only takes place bi annually.
Raw Jarrah honey is produced by bees from the nectar collected from these flowers, and is truly special. It often is considered one of the world’s most premier “healing honeys” that you can buy, as it has extraordinary natural anti-microbial and anti-fungal activity, high fruc- tose (and low glucose) levels, high antioxidant content, plus other beneficial vitamins, minerals and natural chemicals. This anti-microbial activity is measured by the term Total Activity (TA) and depending on the purity, raw Jarrah honey can have a TA of more than 38+ which is remarkably high.
Organic Food Chain has accredited Fewster’s Farm as organically certified, meaning the honey extraction and processing centre is inspected regularly by the Organic Food Board and the honey itself must come from environments in which there is no agricultural or industrial activity within a 5 km radius. The honey is tested for microbial content and must adhere to strict guidelines in order to remain organically certified.
