Pure Forest Energy spreads a message of sustainability and kindness around the world. Advocating fair practice in the honey industry, they're making an impact by working with key federations. As a major supplier, they deal in hundreds of metric tonnes of pure, natural honey in wholesale. Now planning to take these products to the retail market, Pure Forest Energy will use the money raised to fund their expansion, tackling branding, product development, increasing their online presence, and a new office.

Kind to bees, kind to the forest, kind to communities

At Pure Forest Energy our aim is simple: to provide forest communities with support and fair value to enable them to trade natural honey internationally. Beekeeping is an important part of a balanced ecosystem, not only helping to maintain the rural and forest environments, but providing a livelihood for thousands of families. The production of seeds, nuts, plus many fruits and vegetables relies on bees, which are currently under threat due to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD).

We therefore pioneer ethical and sustainable beekeeping practice globally, working with federations and the Honey Authenticity Project. Our director, Mark, has been involved in environmental issues and beekeeping for more than 25 years. As major honey suppliers, we trade in hundreds of metric tonnes of pure honey and sell in wholesale. We're adding to this by introducing a range of honeys and honey-based nutrition and healthcare products, which includes pure honeys; royal jelly, propolis, and pollen; honey-dried tropical fruits; and honey-infused snacks and yoghurts.

We're raising funds to continue our business expansion, which we plan to achieve by developing our branding and subsequently our printing and packaging. In addition to this, we'll use the money raised to update our website and increase our social media presence, further develop our new products, and relocate to a new office.
