Indigiearth provide premium bush foods made from authentic Australian native products that are ethically sourced and sustainably harvested. Sharon is passionate about connecting people with Aboriginal culture and heritage through native foods with Indigiearth now recognised as a leading NSW Indigenous business with the experience and knowledge of bush food.
Sharon’s greatest past-time as a youngster was to collect bush fruits and catch yabbies, which has led to her passion for sharing Aboriginal food in its pure form to everyone.cooking Ingredients and botanicals made that are ethically sourced and sustainably harvested. Indigiearth is producing the finest products with modern technology and cultural experiences that are world class.
Born to an aboriginal mother, descending from gulargambone and a white australian father from coonabarabran, sharon’s early life presented multiple challenges.
Losing her first child to still birth and later the victim of severe domestic violence, which resulted in depression and despair, sharon used her darkest moments to turn life around for herself and two children by building indigiearth from the ground up.
Combining her culinary training with an unparalleled knowledge of aboriginal food, sharon began catering in 1996, serving western sydney with a taste of the outback whilst developing and testing innovative ready-to-use natural products. After years of workshops and corporate catering, indigiearth was launched to the food industry and in 2012 with twenty-five premium native foods.
Demand by chefs and home cooks for on-trend, premium quality native foods has steadily increased, allowing sharon to further develop and introduce an ever-growing range of responsibly sourced products. Today, indigiearth overs over two hundred products including native foods, candles, diffusers and the new all-natural skin care range.
