Product of the Week
Mashonaland Raw Forest Honey
A women-led cooperative from Mashonaland East has launched its raw forest honey on the Co-op Store, bringing award-winning, sustainably harvested honey to a national audience.
The Story
Founded in 2021 with 14 members, the cooperative now supports 42 beekeepers across three wards. Their forest honey won a silver medal at the 2025 Africa Fine Food Awards.
Why It Matters
- Sustainable harvesting protects indigenous forest ecosystems
- Fair Trade certified — members receive 70% of retail price
- Export-ready packaging meets EU and UK import standards
- Each purchase supports rural women entrepreneurs
Where to Buy
Available now on the Co-op Store in 500g and 1kg jars, with bulk pricing for cooperatives and retailers.
"When you buy our honey, you are keeping a forest standing and a family standing," says Chairperson Mrs. Chipo Moyo.
