About Us
East Africa Honey Traders is located in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. We work in direct partnership with the Maasai Honey non-profit to support sustainable beekeeping in rural East Africa. Maasai Honey has been supporting Maasai female beekeepers since 2012; when we decided to broaden honey distribution to the USA in 2022 - East Africa Honey Traders was born!
Founders Krysten Ericson and Molly Hagan have over 20 years combined experience in Tanzania, working with both the Maasai and Hadzabe tribes on beekeeping development.
"We founded East Africa Honey Traders, to bring this incredible honey to other parts of the world, and to broaden the market for beekeepers in remote villages”
