About Harris Farm Markets

For over 50 years, Harris Farm Markets has been reconnecting Aussies with the joy of food. From a humble market in Villawood to more than 34 stores across NSW, ACT, and QLD, we’ve remained proudly family-owned and deeply passionate about fresh, seasonal produce.

We believe that good business should do good for our customers, our communities, each other, and the planet. Nature is at the heart of everything we do, guiding what we grow, how we shop, and what we share. We work closely with local farmers to bring you the best of each season, and we champion sustainability through initiatives like Imperfect Picks, which helps reduce food waste by celebrating produce that’s a little less than perfect but just as delicious.

At Harris Farm, food is more than just something to eat. It’s about connection, community, and care for people and our planet.

We are for the "Greater Goodness"
