Hawkesbury Harvest is the 'local' ingredient of Sydney's dynamic food and wine culture.

In 2000, a small group of people, passionate about the Hawkesbury and its agricultural heritage, joined together to promote the fresh, seasonal produce from the farms on Sydney's doorstep.

Today, this community-based organization, continues to highlight the range of unique experiences that can be found in the Hawkesbury region and offers a number of products, which include:

1. Farm Gate Trail
2. Special Events
3. Hawkesbury Harvest's Farmers & Fine Food Markets. (Castle Hill, Rouse Hill, Sydney )
4. Industry Development (includes regional branding)

Agricultural production in the Hornsby, Baulkham Hills and Hawkesbury Council Areas is estimated at $502 million. Through Hawkesbury Harvest visitors to the region have the opportunity to learn about and experience the abundance of the Hawkesbury. In this way they play a unique role in ensuring the viability and sustainability of farms in the region.
