Our organic manuka oil Product Provider for the Florida Pop-Up Shop will be provided by Kohumaru Station, a 2334 acre manuka kingdom in the winterless north of Aotearoa/NZ.Manuka Oil has long been valued for its health properties, having been used for centuries by the Maori people of New Zealand. It was this natural wisdom that was passed to Captain Cook on his arrival in New Zealand in 1769 and then subsequently used by the early European settlers.

Wild growing manuka and kanuka is sustainably harvested from an organically certified location in the Thames, Paeroa, Waihi. Coromandel region.
In the Google Earth image above of the Thames, Coromandel, Paeroa area, one immediately notices the huge tracts of land that remain covered in native bush. Over 70% of the region remains covered in native bush, providing excellent access to many native plant taonga, (treasure) from which the natural resources used in many health and wellness consumer products that come from Aotearoa/NZ are formulated around.
In keeping with NZ farming whanau (family) tradition, the tamariki of the landowning tipuna assume management.
Over the past 25 years, the manuka and kanuka growing and management skills of the whanau have grown.
With this plant growing experience comes ever growing harvesting skills required to produce high quality plants.
Hundreds of years of customary knowledge is applied to the growing, harvesting and extraction of the oil.
With this tradition and knowledge the family is able to bring its tikanga compliant manuka oil to the marketplace.
From this core product, the family then expanded into further value added skin care and wellness products.
MOT has submitted a proposal to secure extraction rights to a Crown owned station carrying substantial Manuka bushland stock.
