Our Values
Respecting Nature and the Environment
Adelaide Hills Harvest team prefer the ‘small family farm’ philosophy.
They feel the smaller scale farming is the Rolls Royce of food production as it enables producers to keep everything natural – in the truest sense.
This value results in respecting nature and the environment, in turn it’s better for people.
The AHH team pride themselves on only using the best natural and locally sourced and produced raw material.
They buy organically fed free-range heirloom breed Berkshire pigs, not genetically modified or commercially bred breeds.
On their pristine property, Robert and Bessy have a local beekeeper to keep hives and they use the honey from in their products.
As the Adelaide Hills region doesn’t have fruit fly, that plagues much of Australia’s fruit fields, hence, their fruit is not sprayed with herbicides and pesticides. This means all the fruits in their produce and olives are organically grown and local.
The olives they cold press to produce extra virgin olive oils come all come from the one property and are pressed on the property within hours of being picked.
A big part of the AHH brand values is to support local farmers and keep the food miles low.
The Adelaide Hills Harvest philosophy includes practicing a sustainable and environmentally mindful approach to their small batch food manufacturing.
In all aspects of the business Adelaide Hills Harvest trio look for ways to reuse, recycle and reduce. Specifically this will translate in to choosing packaging that will be recyclable and recycled.
