Good Harvest Organic Farm, a beloved cornerstone at Weekend Farmers Markets and a leader in delivering fresh, organic fruit and vegetable boxes directly to homes, is celebrating a decade of excellence in certified organic agriculture and healthy living this September, coinciding with Australian Organic Awareness Month.
Founded with a vision of making farm-fresh, certified organic produce accessible to everyone in the Greater Sunshine Coast area, Good Harvest Organic Farm has grown to become an essential staple for families across the region.
As the company celebrates its 10th birthday, it is proud to reflect on its significant achievements: reaching 250,000+ customers via home delivery boxes and weekend markets over 10 years, significantly reducing food transit distance via our local Woombye farms, and promoting environmentally friendly and sustainable farming practices.
In the past decade, the company has even delivered a staggering 72,000 kilograms of box-favourite Aussie Bananas to happy families.
“From the beginning, our goal has been to bring the farm closer to the table while promoting organic practices that are so important for the environment and our health,“ operations manager Kate Allen said.
“It’s rewarding to see local families respond so favourably to organic produce over a 10-year period.”
To celebrate their 10th birthday, Good Harvest Organic Farm will be giving back to the community with a series of giveaways throughout the month of September, including 10 ‘Golden Tickets’ hidden in delivery boxes to win prizes valued up to $150, kid’s colouring contests, weekend market surprises, and special gifts.
In recent years, Good Harvest Organic Farm has expanded its reach with flagship market stalls at the popular Noosa and Kawana Farmers Markets, the seaside Marcoola Farmers Market, and the latest addition Aura Farmers Market launching a number of weeks ago.
Good Harvest Organic Farm has also partnered with leading food rescue organisation OzHarvest to ensure that unsold market produce is utilised to nourish those less fortunate instead of going to waste. Michele Lipner, Sunshine Coast Chapter Coordinator at OzHarvest said ““Good Harvest has been a good friend of OzHarvest Sunshine Coast and Gympie for almost a decade. They have donated over 4500 kg of surplus quality food to the charity in that time – the equivalent of about 9,000 meals to local community members in need. We are both strong advocates for supporting local farmers, buying local and helping our environment by reducing the amount of quality food that might otherwise finds its way to landfill. Partners in action and ethos.”
