Rainbow Fresh has been a Primary Producer for over 50 years supplying SA and bordering regions with our locally grown leafy green salads. What initially began as a small husband and wife new migrant farm is now recognised as an in Iconic SA Produce brand that has strong local support from SA Businesses and Consumers.
Being a family business for 50 years, we’ve had our fair share of struggles and hardships, not only in the early days, but more recently when a catastrophic fire destroyed our facility. The strong support and encouragement from our community and businesses gave us the determination and resilience to continue moving forward and to rise above the challenge we faced.
In recognition and appreciation of the support we received during our most vulnerable moments and continue to receive every day from our customers, we are strongly committed to giving back to the community.
We give back to community by regularly donating to local sporting clubs and various charity groups
We regularly host school visits,educating students on agriculture & career opportunities within the industry.
IT FEELS GOOD TO GIVE BACK!
SUPPORT OUR LEUKAEMIA

For the months of September to December, you’ll see specially marked 120g packs of Rainbow Fresh salads on supermarket shelves.
Throughout this promotion, every marked pack of Rainbow Fresh lettuce sold, will result in a 10 cent donation to the Leukaemia Foundation. With the support from our valued customers, we are hoping that this promotion will generate many thousands of dollars - all going to such an important cause
TRUDI’S STORY
I’m Trudi, and I’m from the South of Adelaide. One day, I noticed pain in my ovaries while on an exercise bike at the gym. I had surgery to remove the growths just a day after my 40th birthday in March of 2016. I was lucky to have my partner home from work for support, and at the time my daughter was 4 years old and had just started Kindergarten.
When the results came back, I got the call from the surgeon telling me that I had been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, and that’s when my blood cancer journey began. He said the surgery went well, but I would need chemotherapy to ensure the cancer didn’t return. I stopped hearing his words at that point, and had to grab my partner to listen to the next steps. I went into a state of disbelief. It was all a blur from there.
CHERRY KING
Our partnership with the Leukaemia Foundation was sparked by Joe
“The Lettuce King’s” donation of $50,000 in the SA Produce Markets’
annual auction for the first box of Cherries for the season.
The Leukaemia foundation was the charity that benefited from
South Australia’s Cherry Auction, from this we look forward to
an ongoing partnership with the Leukaemia Foundation and
supporting people affected by Blood Cancer.
PROUDLY SUPPORTING WORLD’S GREATEST SHAVE
PROUDLY SUPPORTING FOODBANK
It’s hard to believe that in a wealthy country like Australia, that such a thing as food insecurity can exist. But it does and sadly, it affects hundreds of thousands of Australians every day.
At the same time, government sources tell us that each year, over 7 million tonnes of food are wasted in Australia.
Thankfully, organisations such as Foodbank do a great job in helping to reduce this shameful waste, getting food on the tables of those vulnerable families experiencing food insecurity.
Any surplus Rainbow Fresh lettuces are supplied to Foodbank as a part of their food industry community, working together to fight against hunger.
LITTLE HEROES
In a similar on pack sales related campaign to the current Leukaemia Foundation promotion, Rainbow Fresh donated $15,000 in 2014 to the Little Heroes Foundation. Little Heroes do wonderful work in supporting South Australian children suffering from physical or mental Illness.
