In this episode of Full Plate, Liz Ellis sits down with Sharon Windsor, a proud Ngemba woman and the founder of Indigiearth. Sharon shares her journey of turning a lifelong passion for collecting bush fruits and catching yabbies into a successful business that champions native Australian ingredients.
She discusses the challenges of being a pioneer in the native food industry, the importance of cultural integrity in sourcing products, and her commitment to creating opportunities for Indigenous communities.

Sharon opens up about the resilience required to overcome significant personal and professional hurdles, including the loss of her first business. From the traditional uses of green ants to the modern demand for kakadu plum, this conversation explores how Sharon balances the demands of a growing enterprise with her deep connection to Country and her role as a mother.
