Let's do the maths
A family of four spends around $50–$90 a week on vegetables at the supermarket. HarvestHub Standard is $24.95 a week — grown in their own backyard, with no work required. That gap is the whole point.

Frost/shade/pest protection

And: 50% off setup for the first 50 homes in each hub.
BUILT TO RUN WITHOUT YOU HAVING TO RUN IT
Who does what
SPAGHETTI HUB
Runs the systems, training, subscriptions, billing and risk. Manages setup, harvesting, replanting all year round.
THE ANCHOR ORGANISATION
Hosts the suburb as a connection point, mobilises volunteers and becomes the community anchor point.
THE PROJECT LEADER
Runs the hub locally and manages volunteers and the community host.
HOUSEHOLDS
Supply the yard and water; we install, plant, service, harvest and replant. A local anchor — a church, trust or community group —becomes the coordination hub for one suburb, kick-started by a partner-backed start-up contribution.
NOT A CHARITY, NOT A KIT
Not a charity — it’s a real, subscription-based enterprise. Not a DIY garden kit — households do zero work. Not a produce-delivery service — it’s grown on your own property. It’s something genuinely new.

THE PROBLEM
Why This Matters More Than Ever
Plants closing
Food processing capacity shrinking
Fuel rising
Every km of supply chain costs more
Idle backyards
Thousands, sitting unused
Harvest Hub connects all four.
FAQs -frequently asked questions
What is Harvest Hub? Harvest Hub is a suburb-based food-growing network that turns underused residential backyards into productive vegetable gardens, connected through a trusted local hub.
What role does our organisation play? Your organisation acts as the trusted local anchor — supporting coordination, connection, distribution and community engagement across the suburb.
Do homeowners have to do the gardening? No. Households supply the yard and water access. We install, plant, service, harvest and replant.
Why is food resilience important? Communities with stronger local food production and local relationships cope better with supply-chain disruption and rising food costs. Harvest Hub strengthens both.
What does a household get? The Standard package is a $399 setup and $24.95 a week, covering a leased garden bed with full install, frost/shade/pest protection, four seasonal replantings a year, regular maintenance and harvest to the door, and a seasonal recipe eBook. The Premium package is $750 setup and $34.95 a week, adding an owned, larger bed with herb garden, irrigation and timer, guaranteed fortnightly visits, and a pest-free promise. The first 50 homes in each hub get 50% off setup.
Is this a charity or a DIY garden kit? A: Neither — it's described as a real, subscription-based enterprise. Households do zero work, and produce is grown on their own property rather than delivered.
What does a household need to do? Just supply the yard and water — Spaghetti Hub installs, plants, services, harvests and replants. No gardening work is required from the household.
Is there proof this works? Yes — HarvestHUB is already launching from St Francis, servicing the Hillcrest community in Hamilton.
