Our Growers
The Australian Superfood Co is committed to raising the profile and accessibility of native Australian ingredients by partnering with growers and Indigenous communities to increase supply, quality and availability of local produce. Interested in working together? We’d love to hear from you!
The Native Harvest Initiative
Demand for native Australian ingredients – both locally and around the world – has never been higher, however demand will soon outweigh supply. This is why The Australian Superfood Co has introduced the Native Harvest Initiative.
The Native Harvest Initiative – established with the help of a team of agronomists and propagators – addresses this imbalance by providing a range of specialty services and support to Indigenous communities, assisting growers and farmers diversify and/or repurpose their crops. Working together, the Native Harvest Initiative provides growers with the security of a guaranteed customer for their produce.
