Our Story
MEET THE MODERN DAY FARMERS
At Fifth Harvest, our journey began with a simple yet powerful belief—there is a better way to feed the future. We were founded with the mission to address the pressing challenges of nature loss, climate change, and global food insecurity. From the beginning, we saw an opportunity to make a real difference by transforming how food is grown, harvested, and delivered.
“We believe that feeding the world shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet. We can do better, and we are.”
Fifth Harvest was born out of the desire to create a sustainable and scalable solution to some of the world's biggest challenges. The intersection of food systems and environmental responsibility is where we saw the greatest potential for impact. From there, our focus turned to vertical farming—a method that allows us to grow fresh, nutritious produce using fewer resources and reducing our environmental footprint.
Fresh, local and sustainable 365 days a year.
Today, we have established vertical farms in Melbourne, creating a new standard for urban agriculture. Our farms are designed to reduce food miles, ensuring that the produce we grow stays close to home. By working with some of Melbourne’s finest restaurants, we have been able to supply fresh, locally grown ingredients that meet the high standards of the city’s top chefs.
“Partnering with local restaurants has allowed us to share the quality and freshness of our produce while contributing to Melbourne’s renowned culinary scene.”
Our year-round production ensures a constant supply of fresh greens, while our focus on sustainability means that we’re contributing to a healthier planet.
The Future of Food
While we’re proud of what we’ve achieved, our story is far from over. We are continuously working to push the boundaries of what’s possible with vertical farming, aiming to expand our footprint and drive a global shift toward a more sustainable and resilient food supply. Our ultimate goal is to be at the forefront of innovation, ensuring that fresh, healthy food is accessible to all, without compromising the planet's future.
