We (Jenny & Kenneth Keavey) started Green Earth Organics box delivery scheme in 2006. Our organic farm is situated 8 miles from Galway City. Originally the land was my grand-father's and then my father's and finally I took over the farm 14 years ago. I put the farm into conversion for organic status in 2004.
In 1996 when Lough Boora Farm converted to organics, we began a horticultural enterprise to cover the cost of taking on a second person. We started with 1 ha of veg and 1 polytunnel. Twenty years on, we grow almost 5 has of veg annually including 7 large polytunnels. And the farm employes six on the horticultural side. Our focus is on direct selling of farm produce to the end consumer.
What began as a small Pop up Fish stall in 2002 @ the Galway Saturday Market, has become one of Ireland’s Top Artisan SeafoodProducer (2013 “Just ask” supplier of the year, Bord Bia, 2017 Food Hero, Restaurant association of Ireland and only recently 2017 Euro-Toques Food Merit Award) feeding thousands of hungry households and the best Restaurants in Galway City, County & beyond.
