Durban Small Business Podcast

Scaling Purpose From First Client to Community Impact


Listen Later

Most businesses don't start with a strategy, they start with a problem.

In this episode, we sit down with Catherine Clark, founder of The Harvest Table, to explore how a personal health crisis became the foundation for a disciplined, purpose-driven business that now impacts families and communities across Durban.

Who is Catherine Clark?

Catherine Clark is the founder of The Harvest Table, a KZN-based wellness brand built from her own health journey after being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at 20. What began as a personal search for clean, effective nutrition has grown into a purpose-driven business creating products, jobs, and wider community impact.
