Clifford's Honey Farm
Kangaroo Island

Dave Clifford in the 1970s

Dave started out with a couple of hives as a hobby in 1973.

During the 1980s when the wool prices dropped, Dave and Jenny diversified by expanding their fledgling honey industry. They opened the shop in 1993 and it has been a buzzing success ever since.

In 2009 Dave now runs approx 300 honey producing hives and it is increasing each year. With help from son in laws Tony and Greg, Dave can extract up to 20 tonnes of honey annually.

The Honey Farm aims to provide visitors with quality honey, select regional produce and to provide information on the unique Ligurian bee found only on Kangaroo Island.

Dave and Jenny are committed to upholding the integrity of this unique resource for future generations to enjoy.

Jenny and Dave employ 8 people, their daughters and husbands, two grandchildren and locals Mel and Kelly.
