Who's ready for some planet & money-saving vegetables? Yes, please!
Aussie farmers are working hard to keep those prices down and keep us shopping local by offering something a little different…
Did you know that 25% of farmers' produce doesn't leave the farm simply because they don't meet aesthetic standards? (Sounds like me leaving the house).
We are about to introduce you to a group of legends with a common purpose, to reconnect Aussies with the joy of good food that nature has to offer and a true reminder that it's what is on the inside that counts!
Harris Farm Markets is an Australian grocery chain with over 30 different locations in New South Wales & Queensland.
It was in 1971 that David & Cathy Harris opened their first store in Villawood with a mission more significant than just “selling” good fresh food.
“Food is a remarkable thing. It brings families together, supports communities, and gives farmers a means. It offers nutrients to our bodies, and joy to our taste buds”.
You could say they’re bananas about food. Okay, I agree, I came in too strong with that pun.
The Harris farm is one of many Aussie fresh produce farms doing good and are always looking to further their sustainable initiatives, support local farmers and make a real, positive difference! *claps so loudly at desk*.
To do this, the Harris farm runs a service called the Imperfect picks: seasonal fruit and vegetables that may not look perfect on the outside but are as delicious as ever on the inside.
"WE MAY LOOK FUNNY, BUT WE SAVE YOU MONEY!" - Harris Farm
Imperfect Picks launched in 2014 as part of the business initiative to minimize waste while helping Aussie farmers, and saving a few dollars for you! Plus, Harris Farm makes these imperfectly unique fruit & veg 50% cheaper than your regular-looking produce. Win-win!
Would you take in the imperfect picks? I know we would!

If you have any questions or know of another bunch of do-good Aussie farm legends doing something extraordinary in your community, we'd love to hear from please don't hesitate to write in or ask via askusanything@goforzero.com.au
With love,
Ellie & the GFZ team xx
