Harris Farm Markets is an Australian fresh fruit and grocery retail chain with over 30 locations across New South Wales, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory. The markets specialise in fresh fruit, vegetables, cheeses, breads, perishable, butchery and grocery products.
The majority of stores are within Greater Sydney, along with Canberra, Brisbane, Newcastle, Albury and the Gold Coast.
They are one of Australia's largest independent fruit and vegetable grocers. The company is often involved in a variety of sustainability and community initiatives, including their promotion of 'odd-shaped' fruit called "Imperfect Picks" at lower prices in an initiative to reduce landfills and reusing packaging boxes for customer shopping.
History
Harris Farm Markets was established in 1971, with a single shop in Villawood. The company faced possible bankruptcy in the 1990s when an investor pulled out. Following this, the company rebuilt itself and in 2010, David Harris, the founder, passed on the leadership of the company to three of his five sons, Tristan, Angus and Luke, who share the title of CEO.[3] Other family members in the business include Catherine Harris (chairperson).[4]
