Join Harvest Hub: Buy local and save
(Save Money. Supermarket trips. The planet. Small family growers. Bio-diversity. Flavour over looks. Getting our drift?) Harvest Hub is a fresh new way to buy the best-tasting fresh food: from your local neighbourhood Hub.
Harvest Hub buys direct from the growers at Flemington's Produce market, and delivers in bulk to our network of local neighbourhood 'Hubs' - small co-ops run by mums and dads, couples and families who lovingly pack the produce into your cooler bag. And all you have to do is swing on buy and pick it up. (And say 'Hi' to your Hubster and fellow members!). We'll help you reduce your supermarket trips, which means you save time and money (as you're not seduced into buying things you don't really need).
When it comes to buying fresh fruit & vegetables, you have 3 flexible options:
- Our Value Bags provide a great selection of seasonal fruit & vegetables, and will help you save 20-30% on fruit & veg alone
- If you feel a little picky, you can customise the Value Bag: check out next week's content online - and then tailor it to your liking by removing and adding items
- If the bag is nowhere near what you need, you simply set up a custom order from scratch. Check out our products...
Buying locally-grown and produced where possible, from small growers and suppliers located in and around the Sydney Basin, Harvest Hub promotes sustainability, more diversity and lower food miles. Less transport means: lower cost, fresher produce, and lower carbon emissions. And because we don't have a network of stores and cold storage facilities, we have lower costs - so you pay less.

Help us give back to the community. Any leftover fruit & veg at the end of each week is delivered to charities like OzHarvest and the Salvo's soup kitchen to make meals for the homeless and other people in need. Many Hubs assist local families who are doing it tough by donating unwanted fruit & veg, or by donating $1 a week towards a Harvest Hub bag. We match your donation dollar-for-dollar.

Becoming a Harvest Hub Member means: a better way to buy local, eating great food for less & giving back to your community.
How do I join? 3 easy steps
Step 1: Join an existing Hub, start a new Hub or apply to become a Hubster
- Choose an existing Hub close to home or work, with a pickup day/time that suits your schedule
- If no Hub is available in your area, suggest a new Hub. This will tell other people in your area that there is a Hub-in-progress, and before you know it, the new Hub is ready to start (once it has 8 members). (Note: you can suggest a Hub without necessarily becoming a Hubster)
- Become a Hubster and get your weekly fruit & veg for free, in return for an hour's worth of work. OK, tell me more!
