At Good Harvest Organic Farm, every choice we make is rooted in care - for the land, for our farmers, and for the families who choose to eat well.
That’s why Plastic Free July is more than just a trend for us. It’s a reflection of the values we live by all year round. And we're pretty sure a lot of you share the same values too!
Before you dive into the rest of the article, check out our handy printable checklist to help you minimise your waste this July and ongoing.
Why Plastic Free July Matters
Plastic Free July is a global movement that encourages millions of people to reduce single-use plastic waste in their daily lives. It’s about awareness, action, and doing what we can with what we have.
Even the smallest changes, like saying no to a plastic bag or bringing your own container, can ripple into big impact when we act together.

Our Ongoing Commitment to Less Waste
We’ve always been passionate about creating a food system that’s better for people and the planet. Here’s how we’re doing our part:
🥬 Plastic-free produce: Our certified organic fruit and veggie boxes come without the plastic wrap you often find at big supermarkets.
🚚 Eco-conscious deliveries: Our home delivery service uses minimal, recyclable packaging; no unnecessary plastic trays or bags.
🛍️ Farmers Markets, minus the waste: When you shop with us at the farmers markets, we encourage you to bring along BYO bags, jars, and baskets - anything to reduce packaging is always welcome!
🔁 Closing the loop: We reuse and recycle wherever we can, from harvest to delivery.
How You Can Join In
Whether you’re a long-time low-waste warrior or just getting started, here are a few easy ways to embrace Plastic Free July with us:
- Choose unpackaged & unbagged items where possible - Buy from local markets & steer clear of pre-packaged items.
- Choose planet-friendly options - If you can't avoid packaging, make sure it is recyclable or compostable.
- Say no to single-use - If you can't use it more than once, the planet pays the price. Refuse plastic straws, cutlery, and takeaway containers.
- Support businesses that care - Like us! Every time you buy from a local, organic farmer, you’re casting a vote for a better food system.
Let’s Grow a Better Future
Plastic Free July reminds us that sustainability is a shared journey. At Good Harvest, we’re proud to be walking this path alongside our community, making better choices, one season at a time.
Thanks for supporting local, organic, and plastic-free wherever you can.
