Proudly Tasmanian. Family-owned. Made with care and passion for great food.

Founded by chef Andre Richardson in 1998, Island Harvest Tasmania began with a simple dessert made from fresh local berries and sold at Hobart’s Salamanca Market. After winning Champion Food Item at the Taste of Tasmania festival, the family-owned business grew from humble beginnings to a purpose-built kitchen near Hobart Airport, where our passion for quality ingredients and exceptional flavour continues today.

Our story is deeply rooted in a family tradition of cooking and growing. Andre’s father, Peter Richardson, helped shape Melbourne’s food scene in the 1960s, while his mother, renowned gardener Kathleen Golder, inspired a lifelong appreciation for seasonal produce, growing your own food and making the most of nature’s bounty. These values continue to influence the way we create our products today.

Our love for our island home is at the heart of everything we do. We prioritise sourcing ingredients from Tasmanian growers wherever possible, celebrating the distinctive flavours of our orchard fruits, berries and native botanicals. Every product is made with the same care and attention you would expect in a fine restaurant kitchen, bringing together traditional methods, quality ingredients and a genuine passion for great food.

Today, the Island Harvest Tasmania range includes premium single-varietal jams and preserves, fruit pastes, vibrant fruit coulis, indulgent dessert sauces, ready-to-serve panna cotta desserts and gourmet entertaining condiments. From a perfectly paired cheese board to an effortless restaurant-quality dessert, our products are designed to bring exceptional flavour and a little everyday indulgence to your table.

Whether you’re entertaining family and friends, preparing something special or simply enjoying the little pleasures of good food, Island Harvest Tasmania makes it easy to enjoy chef-quality flavours at home.
