Harvesting HeritageWhere Every Meal is an Invitation to Grow.
Welcome to Harvesting Heritage
We believe the most significant transformations begin with a shared meal. Harvesting Heritage is not a development organisation in the traditional sense - we are agents of discovery. Using the universal language of food, we spark aspirational self-discovery in the communities, farmers, organisations, and entrepreneurs we walk alongside.
Our approach is trusted by some of the most respected organisations working in food, conservation, and heritage on the continent including Conservation International, Peace Parks Foundation, Slow Food, and Meat Naturally Africa.
Our work is held by three pillars PEOPLE PLANET PLATE and together they form a single invitation: to recognise the potential already present, celebrate a vibrant and generous land, and turn every meal into an act of connection.
We engage with everyone we work with as partners in excellence, creating environments where people discover the potential already within them. When people thrive, economies grow, and the value flows directly to those who need it most. This is development with dignity - and it changes everything.
We believe in the power of responsible stewardship, championing regenerative practices and indigenous African ingredients, and celebrating a landscape capable of nourishing us all. A healthy land is a productive land that creates lasting economic opportunity for the communities who tend it.
We work with chefs, consumers, and everyone who knows that heritage is best experienced at the table. Every purchasing decision is an economic act, and when that choice honours indigenous ingredients and regenerative practice, the value flows back to the people in their landscapes.
"When we look through the lens of PEOPLE, PLANET, and PLATE, we find that economic development isn't fought for - it is tasted, shared, and celebrated." - Caroline McCann (Founder)
