Our farm

A working farm, run by a small team.

We are a registered Malawian farm business in Chileka, farming since 2021. Our apiary, poultry and crop fields sit on the same land, and we run a dedicated production house for the honey.

"This is more than honey. It's a labour of love crafted with sustainable, time-honoured methods."From the Otaku's Premium Honey label

Our own honey only. We do not buy honey from other farmers. Every jar traces back to our hives.
No chemicals in the hives. We use no antibiotics or chemical treatments on our bees.
Clean, separate spaces. Honey is processed in its own production house, away from the poultry and crop areas, under written hygiene procedures.

Our flagship product

Otaku's Premium Honey

Pure, raw-style multifloral honey from Chileka. Extracted, strained and filtered, never pasteurised. Nothing is added or taken out except wax and debris.

Origin: Multifloral, Chileka, Blantyre Rural
Jar: Food-grade PET, gold screw cap, tamper-evident seal

Crystallisation is natural and shows the honey is real. Stand the closed jar in warm water and it turns liquid again. Not suitable for infants under 12 months.

Honey: hive to jar

Eight steps, all in our hands.

Each stage follows a written procedure and is recorded, so every batch number on a jar leads back to the hives and harvest day it came from.

Hives sited and inspected on our land. No antibiotics or chemical treatments.
Harvest

Transport

Honey quality

We work to the Malawi standard, and tighter where it counts.

Our honey is tested against MS 366, the Malawi honey specification. On the measures that show freshness and careful handling, we set stricter limits for ourselves.
