Why We Love What We Do
My dad, Joe, loves the rush of the market. In the early hours of the morning, while others are still sleeping, he thrives on sourcing the best quality produce for the store. And he says there’s nothing like your first coffee on a cold Melbourne morning before the birds are chirping.
Jason, my uncle, prefers being inside the store. He gets the team energized and ready to go in the morning, and ensures the store looks outstanding each and every day.
With the opening of Harvest, I continue the family legacy started by my great-grandfather, Giuseppe, over 50 years ago. Like my uncle, I work hard keeping the shelves full of the freshest produce and making sure our customers are happy. I’ll always pick fruit for you that is the perfect ripeness for when you want to eat it!
Along the way, my Nonno keeps us all in check as we continue the legacy of doing what we love to do.
