Our passion is food and the people who produce it

We believe that people should be connected to the source of the food that they eat, and the people who produce it. If you are a fisher, farmer or small food business we can help you tell your story to your customers in compelling ways. Ways that make you money.

We live and breathe the art
of science and marketing.
We like facts and figures
but we also like to have fun
we know you can have it
both ways.

Whether your business is large or small, focused on Australia or overseas, we work with you to create a tailored and practical plan to help you grow your market. You can then choose whether we do it for you, or we teach you how to do it for yourself. Our creative and disciplined team has expertise in market research, business strategy, international negotiation, creative design and digital marketing. It’s simple, we mean what we say and we deliver what we promise.

Honey and Fox began in 2015, founded on a shared passion for celebrating Australian food and agribusinesses.
