Organic fresh fruit and vegies
Our supplier is one of the few who has a permit to buy produce from the
wholesale market earlier than most, so she gets the pick of the crop and
the quality is exceptional. Our supplies are in the shop early on
Thursday morning – delicious bananas, apples, stone fruit, pumpkin,
potatoes, tomatoes and green vegies. Organic fruit and vegies means you
are not consuming dangerous chemicals and fertilisers. A little dearer,
but well worth it.
Gluten-free products
We have recently extended our range of gluten-free products to cater for
the many people who find they have a gluten intolerance. Our naturopath,
Libby Shaw, has helped hundreds of customers over the past 12 years get
their diets on track. Breakfast cereals, bread, biscuits, cakes – the
range is extensive.
Bread, dairy and vegetarian foods.
Bakeries dedicated to making healthy breads supply daily to Nature’s
Harvest. Sourdough, rice, millet, spelt, rye, wheat and gluten-free –
there’s a bread for every taste. Our fridges also contain a wide range
of milks, yoghurts, cheeses, dips, butter, tofu and appetising
vegetarian foods.
Bulk packaging
Health food stores traditionally packed dried fruit and nuts, flours,
rice and other grains from bulk supplies – but not any more. At Nature’s
Harvest we continue this tradition. Customers find the product fresher
and cheaper and it has become one of our store’s major growth areas.
Pure Victorian honey
Our apiarist has hives located in central Victoria, the Riverina and the
Mallee. His family have been apiarists for more than 80 years, with five
generations involved. All honey is strained at beehive temperature (not
heat treated) to retain all the natural goodness of pollen, propolis and
enzymes. Most of the hives are placed in forests away from mainstream
agriculture, hence the honey is mostly organic although not certified.
The range of varieties is extensive – Red Gum, Manuka, Stringybark,
Ironbark, Desert Wildflower, Mallee Gums, Yellow Box, Grey Box, Banksia
and many more.
