The Boyne Valley Honey Company was established by Malachy McCloskey in Drogheda almost 50 years ago. At 16 years of age Malachy began working in his father’s shop where honey was an important part of the offering. When his original supplier died, Malachy sourced new supplies from beekeepers in both Drogheda and Wexford. Soon he had more honey than he could sell in his own shop and approached other retailers in Drogheda to buy the surplus. From this simple transaction came the Boyne Valley name and the first of the company’s brands.

In 1966, Boyne Valley Honey found its permanent home in Mell, Drogheda – purely by coincidence the name is derived from the Irish for honey (mil/meala).
Today, Boyne Valley Honey is the biggest selling brand of honey in Ireland. Boyne Valley Honey outsells all other brands of honey combined by 6:1. The brand continues to grow through innovations – the most important of which has been the introduction of Squeezy honey which allows people to pour honey directly onto toast/porridge or into smoothies/tea without the need for sticky spoons.

The newest addition to our range is 250g Squeezy Yummy Honey – Pure Natural Honey in a Squeezy made specially for little hands. Pure Yummy Honey features a new character – Bizzy Bee, who we hope will encourage children to eat healthier, more natural foods.

Sponsorhip of Down Syndrome Ireland Honey Days
2006 marked the 10 year anniversary of Boyne Valley Honey Days. Over the past 10 years, this activity has raised significant funds for the charity. Throughout the last decade, €1.7 million has been raised for Down Syndrome Ireland and over 70,000 pots of honey sold.

Thanks to the Honey Days initiative, the money raised over the past ten years has funded internationally recognised research at the National Children’s Hospital in Tallaght, the employment of an early intervention specialist and a dedicated counsellor, and funding for DSI brances at a local level.
