Spotlight: Harmless Harvest
Meet Harmless Harvest… regenerative organic beverage pioneer and the #SeeingGreen Solutionist of the Day for August 27.
Harmless Harvest is an organic food and beverage company that transformed the coconut water category with its vibrant pink color and a steadfast focus on quality, transparency and sustainability. Founded in 2010, the company is on a mission to farm, craft and share remarkable coconut products that create a natural demand for sustainable farming, better business practices and community impact. Beginning with sustainably harvested organic coconut water, Harmless Harvest has since expanded into a full line of refrigerated products including dairy-free coconut yogurt, smoothies and functional beverages with simple ingredients and no synthetic additives.
Sustainability and a focus on “constructive capitalism” are at the core of Harmless Harvest’s business. In particular, the brand has emerged as a leader in sustainable sourcing and regenerative agriculture. Their Regenerative Coconuts Agriculture Project is transforming coconut farming in Thailand through practices like composting, cover cropping, intercropping and biodiversity restoration. The company has also partnered with organizations like GIZ to scale impact while improving farmer livelihoods.
Working toward its goal of zero coconut waste to landfill by 2025, Harmless Harvest launched plant-based yogurt alternatives and smoothies in 2020 to leverage the coconut “meat.” Both products are now Upcycled Certified. In 2021, the company transitioned to 100% recycled plastic bottles while continuing to explore non-plastic options.
With a focus on integrating the long-term welfare of all its stakeholders, the brand is committed to paying fair wages, providing decent working conditions and reinvesting in the communities at the source.
Harmless Harvest products are available online and at major and community grocery retailers.
