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.
Lough Boora Farm
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.
