There are few places that encapsulate the Northern Rivers quite like Harvest. Set within the historic Newrybar Village and surrounded by verdant hinterland, this three-in-one community hub takes the best of the region’s produce and showcases the lot across a modern Australian restaurant, deli, bakery and world-class function space.

The restaurant, helmed by Marcello Polifrone (ex- Quay, Pillu at Freshwater), serves simple, elevated dishes with a focus on native ingredients. Polifrone works closely with both local farmers and Harvest’s head gardener, Richie La Face, to create seasonal menus that reflect the region at that moment in time.

Next door to the restaurant is Harvest’s deli, inside a beautifully converted Queenslander home. It’s there you can pick up coffee, freshly made sandwiches, salads, take-home meals and specialty pantry items. Sourdough bread and pastries are supplied by Harvest's bakery and its 120-year-old woodfire oven, set within a historic former milk factory.

After a visit to the deli, you can take away your spoils to enjoy at the village green, which doubles as a community space hosting monthly live music, food stalls, gardening, pasta-making classes and more.
