In today’s episode I got to hang out with William Cook, the co founder of Harvest Box. Harvest box has been around in Australia for over 10 years which started off as a subscription-based home snacking delivery business after seeing the success of the Graze business model in the UK. After years of adaptation and evolving, Harvest box can now be found in the major retails too. If having a healthy snacking range which exports to several other countries wasn’t time consuming enough. William also set up a new business venture, Ocean Australia which we discuss in detail too.
