Grant Lockwood founder of Goldfields started beekeeping at age 16 with Orange Bee Farms in 1975. Grant did his apprenticeship and was a naturally talented/skilled beekeeper. His expert knowledge of bees, flora, climate, geography and farming is irreplaceable. These skills passed on by mentors who were pioneers in beekeeping in Australia. Grant has passed these skills onto his four children.
Grant and Vicki established Goldfields at Lucknow NSW in 1989, and eventually moved to our current site on the Mitchell Hwy at VITTORIA NSW in 1999, selected because it is surrounded by clean environment suitable for beekeeping, honey production and queen breeding. Also, it is located on a major freight route to Sydney. A new honey extracting and honey packing facility was built in 2010.
Sadly, Grant passed away in 2017.
Goldfields is currently operated by our four children Jon, Mark, Claire and Sam along with their partners, and the up-and-coming new generation of ten grandchildren.
Goldfields is a family business owned by the Lockwood family and has been packing honey since 1982. Honey is packed in containers from 250gm for the small consumer, larger quantities for the family up to 1500kg for the commercial buyer.
Our mixed blossom range is produced from a variety of floral resourses depending on what is flowering. Our Beekeepers Reserve Range features honey produced from a pure floral sourse. Some of our favourites varieties are Orange Bloosom & Macadmia.
