Harris Farm has been a beloved name in Australia for over 52 years, and for good reason. Family-owned and passionately committed to providing the best for their community, it鈥檚 a place where local produce, ethical sourcing, and Aussie seasons are celebrated.聽

As you walk through the Redfern store, you truly see these values in every aisle. It鈥檚 not your standard supermarket experience; instead, it has the warmth and charm of a bustling local market. My weekly grocery shop used to be a chore I dreaded 鈥� and then I discovered Harris Farm, and now it鈥檚 one of my favourite things to do.聽

The first thing you see is the abundance of fresh, colourful produce; plump stone fruit 馃崙 and berries, aromatic herbs, veggies 馃崋 so fresh and fragrant it feels like you just plucked them from the plant yourself. Harris Farm also employs an 鈥業mperfect Picks鈥� program, to reduce produce that is perfectly edible and delicious, but not quite flawless 馃拝 from going to waste.

I recently invited a few of my closest judies around for a RuPaul鈥檚 Drag Race viewing party 鈥� and went straight to Harris Farm to get everything I needed for a luscious spread. Their selection of more than 500 cheeses 鈥� from a creamy burrata or a punchy aged parmesan, and everything in between! 鈥� helped me create a cheeseboard my friends raved about all night. While watching our favourite queens, we gorged on a freshly baked Cob loaf from in-house Infinity Bakery, filled with the freshest ricotta and spinach, and a diverse charcuterie selection.聽

Then for a simple but indulgent dinner 鈥� baked salmon fillets served with fresh greens. Picking the perfect seafood can make or break any special occasion, but luckily the team at Harris Farm partner Fish In The Family are happy to help you find the perfect choice from their wide selection of fresh, locally sourced seafood.聽

Another of my favourite unique touches at the Redfern store is the 鈥�Pour Your Own Milk鈥� station, where you can fill up on single-herd milk, sourced directly from local farms. It鈥檚 a super cute way to help reduce packaging waste while supporting local farmers. Ensuring our farmers are supported and valued is something Harris Farm dedicated to 鈥� they also have the Total Crop Solution initiative, where they purchase entire harvests rather than just the top-grade items.

This store truly is a community hub for neighbours, locals, and visitors 鈥� there鈥檚 always something to see or do, like cooking demonstrations, events and tastings that showcase Australian producers.聽

At Harris Farm Redfern, you鈥檒l always find something new to try to indulge your palate and explore the fabulously diverse world of food.聽
