MANUKA HONEY
Southern Dairy is a supplier of world-famous Manuka Honey that is produced by bees that pollinate the Manuka tree, a native plant of New Zealand.
​

​
​
Typically it contains higher levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), a natural antibacterial agent. While not yet fully verified by research, it is said by some to provide improved healing to cuts, protection from infection, improved digestion, and enhancement of the immune system. In fact, in 2007 the US FDA approved Manuka Honey as an option for wound healing.
​
The other potential benefit of Manuka Honey is that even though it has antibacterial properties it is not an antibiotic. Therefore it does not appear to contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The other important point to mention is that unlike many other kinds of honey, our Manuka Honey is not contaminated with actual antibiotics. In many parts of the world, foulbrood is a major issue resulting in beekeepers having to use an antibiotic to protect their bees. This is not the case with the Southern Dairy product.
Manuka Honey comes in different grades according to the level of anti-bacterial properties it contains. Southern Dairy has a full range available as well as other kinds of honey unique to New Zealand.

FORMULA
BUTTER
New Zealand butter is renowned for its rich buttery taste and deeper yellow color which is produced by beta carotene a pigment found in grasses and other grazing plants. Such a characteristic is a reflection of the grass-based grazing practices of New Zealand dairy farming. Located in a temperate climate zone New Zealand is the world's largest dairy and unique amongst most of the major dairy nations with its year-round pasture-based dairy practices. This helps contribute to butter that is higher in beta carotene a natural compound that the human body converts to Vitamin A.
​
Southern Dairy has available both salted and unsalted butter in retail pack form.
LAMB
New Zealand is the world's largest exporter of lamb meat. It is recognized globally for its natural attributes and quality. This is as a result of New Zealand sheep being pasture-fed and grazed, kept free from GMO's and artificial hormones, plus they are farmed under New Zealand's strict animal husbandry requirements. In addition, largely as a result of being 100% pasture-fed, NZ lamb has the highest lamb omega content in the world.
​
Southern Dairy has available a range of lamb cuts specially designed for the US consumer.

New Zealand is the world's largest dairy exporting nation with its population of 5 million dairy cows matching the size of its human population. In addition, the South Pacific nation has also been a world leader in the provision of nursing care and nutrition of infants and young children for over 100 years. It began in 1908 with the formation of the NZ Plunkett Society by Dr. Truby King, who was even at that time an acknowledged international on the care and nutrition of babies and toddlers. He strongly advocated breastfeeding but recognized that not all mothers could sustain such practices for their children. In response, he developed an early form of formula and arranged for the product to be manufactured by some of New Zealand's dairy companies of the time.
​
Since that time, great advancements have been made in the research of infant and toddler nutrition. Breastfeeding is still considered the best option for infants and toddlers especially up until 12 months of age. For further information please refer to this link:
Why breastfeeding should be the first choice.
While we strongly advocate breastfeeding, it is not always an option for some mothers with children aged over 12 months, due to personal health or circumstances. In response to these needs, Southern Dairy has a range of Toddler (age 1-3 years) Formula products available. These include Pasture-Fed and Organic options.
