Suzanne Harding

Sue was born and raised in a semi-rural town at the edge of Sydney, Australia, and was educated alongside farmers' children at one of the state's four agricultural high schools where sharing routine farm duties was part of the daily curriculum. She has a great appreciation for primary producers, having seen the extreme conditions, which are a relentless challenge in Australia. More recently, living in Singapore during the pandemic when borders were closed and incoming supplies were disrupted, Sue understands the importance of self-sustainability to a country's food supply and is an advocate of the recent surge in direct sales from farms to local consumers. Sue is passionate about encouraging local operations and is excited to bring her experience - gained from working at Deloitte in Sydney and a start-up tech company in Texas - to Harvest Returns where she hopes to be a part of providing opportunities for the growth of innovation in American businesses.
