HOW IT WORKS
Contact Us
Doesn’t matter how you contact us!!
Just let us know.
Property Visit
We’ll come to your place, see what’s growing and reach an agreement that works for both of us.
Harvesting begins
Key permaculture principle: “obtain a yield”.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
Cash
Food swap
Contentment
Depending on how much food we’re harvesting, you get anything from a bottle or two of chutney to crates of chutney or cash. Plus you always get the satisfaction of knowing the food growing on your land is not going to waste.. MJ’s Produce is happy to work with you and come up with a mutually beneficial arrangement.
ONE-OFF HARVEST
As well as harvest agreement s we also do one-off harvests. If you have a full tree now and don’t want to go through the process of setting up an ongoing harvest agreement, just give us a call and we’ll harvest your current surplus there & then
WHY WE SHOULD ALL DO THIS
We should all minimise waste. This is a way that we can all do our bit, and:
– Reduce Waste,
– Reduce food miles,
– Support local enterprise
HOW TO PROCEED?
Contact us & we’ll organise a home visit to look at what’s growing and come up with a win/win harvest agreement.

FAQ's
Harvest Agreements are a win , win, win.
– You benefit from it.
– M&J’s Produce benefit from it.
– And the earth’s bounty is put to better use.
That’s up to you. We can create harvest agreements on a case by case scenario, specifying anything from “access only when your there” through till “complete freedom of access”.
Once again. It depends. What type of tree(s) do you have & how many of them. Harvest agreements are worked out between the 2 of us, based on the circumstances of the yield
Once again.. It depends. But this is one of the first things we would work out.
As long as you wish!! And it can be cancelled at any stage.
I’m sorry. We are only interested in taking organically grown foods
The general rule for this is no. If M&J’s Produce is coming to your place & harvesting, we are carrying our part of the value chain ourselves and would hence be expecting to pay a correspondingly smaller price.
If you grow mangoes for example, and are wanting mango chutney in exchange, made from your mangoes, this can be arranged. Or else you take contra product from other peoples produce instead
We can come to any arrangement that works for both of us in setting up a harvest agreement
No. You can fill in the PDF and get a feel for what flexibility we have in setting up a harvest agreement – but in the end a physical property visit will be required to get an idea about what you have and how easy it would be to harvest.
We are based in both Lennox & Mullumbimby, so as a general rule we will go further afield for larger hauls.
– Small harvests geographically from Ocean Shores to Ballina down the coast line and inland to Friday Hut Road.
-For larger harvests we would go anywhere as far as Pottsville through to Lismore.
