Welcome
to Island Berries Tasmania
Island Berries Tasmania is a vertically capable, innovation-driven manufacturer servicing retail, foodservice and private label markets across Australia. From concept development to finished product, we combine culinary expertise with commercial-scale production to deliver consistent, premium outcomes.
Our Services
Contract Manufacturing
Product Development
Product Branding
Dedicated to servicing national brands, retailers and hospitality partners through bespoke product development and scalable production.
Founded in 1998 by chef Andre Richardson, Island Berries Tasmania is a proudly Tasmanian food manufacturer built on culinary heritage, pristine local produce and a commitment to flavour without compromise.
From our modern facility near Hobart, we craft premium products for leading Australian brands while growing our own award-winning portfolio, including Island Harvest Tasmania. Guided by generations of chefs and gardeners, our focus remains simple - exceptional ingredients, handled with care, and products designed to elevate everyday eating into something memorable.
Business Structure & Strategic Focus
Following a comprehensive business review, we refined our operational model to strengthen two core pillars:
Contract Manufacturing
Dedicated to servicing national brands, retailers and hospitality partners through bespoke product development and scalable production.
We partner with national retailers, hospitality groups and premium brands to develop and manufacture bespoke products. Our capabilities include sauces, dressings, preserves, fruit preparations, dessert components and seasonal specialty lines - all produced to rigorous food safety and quality standards.
Branded Product Growth
Driving expansion of our proprietary portfolio - including Island Harvest Tasmania - with a strong focus on distribution growth, category expansion and retail velocity.
Island Berries Pty Ltd remains the parent company, ensuring governance, quality assurance and long-term strategic alignment across both divisions. This dual-focus model allows us to scale efficiently while protecting brand integrity and premium positioning.
Product Development & Culinary Leadership
Our innovation is chef-led and grounded in decades of professional kitchen experience. Founder Andre Richardson’s culinary background underpins every formulation, with a strong emphasis on flavour integrity, balance and provenance.
We also collaborate with acclaimed Australian chef and media personality Adrian Richardson, whose involvement in product development and brand storytelling enhances both credibility and market recognition. This partnership reinforces our commitment to translating restaurant-quality standards into scalable retail solutions.
We specialise in:
- Recipe development and refinement
- Heirloom and single-varietal fruit applications
- Alcohol-infused and native ingredient innovation
- Seasonal and limited-edition releases
- Retail-ready formats including gifting and entertaining collections
We only use premium Tasmanian and Australian sourced produce.
Alongside contract manufacture, we continue to expand our proprietary portfolio with a strategic focus on increasing distribution, entering new categories and driving national retail performance.
