Surrounding the headwaters of the Zambezi River in the remote, highland Miombo forests of Zambia is a valley untouched by modern civilization. Wild bee colonies make their home in the forest canopy, producing one of the finest, healthiest, organic honeys in the world. Local beekeepers work with their forest bees, gathering honey in a wildcrafting tradition that dates back hundreds of years. Their forest home, the Ikelenge Pedicle of northwest Zambia, contains biodiversity of global importance. These highland forests contain some of the highest densities of wild bee colonies in the world. Sustainable organic beekeeping helps prevent deforestation by offering farmers a Fair, Livable wage from a forest resource other than timber.

Over the past 8 years, the farmer collective that produces Zambezi Organic Forest Honey has grown to over 5,000 members. Once trained, organic beekeeping raises monthly incomes by 100%. Over 80% of the money earned from organic beekeeping still remains in the local economy after three spending cycles. The farmer collective has received awards and recognition from the UN and from the Zambian government for their success.

Every time you spend one dollar, you are making choices about the kind of world you want to live in. The choices you make at the grocery store can have an impact on environmental health and on farmers who live and work halfway around the world. Zambezi Organic Forest Honey helps create a link between small-scale producers in Zambia and customers in the USA. Not only does wildcrafted organic honey support Zambian farmers and their families, but it helps promote forest biodiversity conservation. When you purchase Zambezi Honey, you are helping to preserve the natural environment in Zambia and alleviating poverty.
