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.
Currently we are farming on 40 acres of organically certified land. Another 10 acres is split between, a wild life biodiversity area, native woodland forestry (3000 trees) and red clover/grassland.
Our commitment to sustainability and Zero Plastic: Our aim at Green Earth Organics is to minimize the impact of our farm on the environment. We do this by growing our produce in an organic and sustainable way, by generating our own electricity using solar panels, and by harvesting the West of Ireland rainwater to wash the freshly picked veg and to water the plants in our tunnels.
As a business, we are striving to be carbon neutral and we're actively looking for ways to reduce and eliminate the plastic packaging in our boxes.
All our set boxes are PLASTIC FREE, we use plant based bags for salads and greens.
All of our other fresh produce is packed either loose or in brown paper bags which we take back and re-use every week.
