Lindsay & Yeonsoon Bourke – Australian Honey Products
A BEEKEEPER WITH TRUE PASSION!
While employed by the Tasmanian Fire Service Lindsay Bourke started his one man apiarist business with 200 hives in 1966. Every year he would wisely invest the profits from each honey harvest into the property market to purchase a house. The Real Estate acquired by Lindsay over the years led him to become a leading property owner in Launceston, Tasmania.
Lindsay’s enthusiasm for challenges saw him leave the honey business in 1980 when other interests, including extensive property development, took hold. In addition to owning and managing 74 residential properties, Lindsay ran his own restaurants, hotels and motels and renovated many of Launceston’s historic buildings.
His passion for beekeeping returned in 2002 and he made Australian Honey Products an award-winning venture exporting to countries such as Korea, Japan, Tahiti, Germany, Jordan and United Kingdom. Initially marketed under the Bourkes Garden Honey and Cradle Mountain Honey the company expanded with the acquisition of Taverners Products in 2007. This enabled the company to diversify by adding honey beverages, honey ales and honey meads to the product list. In 2008 Lindsay purchased the oldest Apiary in Tasmania, the Sheffield Honey Farm, formerly H L Jones & Sons, Barrington Apiary which was established in 1898.
Australian Honey Products now has the largest number of bee hives in Tasmania and is the largest Commercial Pollinator in Tasmania providing a service to all forms of agriculture state wide. Lindsay is currently also the President of Tasmania Beekeepers Association.
Brett & Jonny - Eclipse Organics
MEET OUR PASSIONATE INVENTORS
Eclipse organic is created by Brett and Jonny. Brett used to work in Europe and he realised that the Italian and French didn’t eat Muesli for breakfast like he did back home. He then realised he needs to make his own Muesli or go without it.
Brett’s first Muesli creation was born and it became his brekky staple for the next decade. Upon his return to Australia, he ran into Jonny, a great friend from the past. Unsatisfied with Muesli served by local stores, compare to their homemade version, they both team up and Eclipse Organic was established.
Eclipse Organic Muesli and Food Bars are created by hand with love. The philosophy is “We do it for ourselves, our family and our friends.” Eclipse Organic is proudly Australian Certified Organic. As Eclipse Organic grew rapidly across Australia and Worldwide, there is one thing that has never changed and that is the love and the quality ingredients that they put into everything they make. This includes knowing who grows the food, where it grows and how farmers produce the ingredients. Eclipse Organic is passionate about their Healthy Creations!
