Meet the Team
We have 18 people full time working with us on the farm. Our valuable field team headed up by Padraig manage the harvest of vegetables all year long in rain sleet or snow. In Spring, Summer and Autumn, using mechanisation in the field with state of the art seed sowing, planting and weeding equipment and the advice of a top Organic growing advisor, we use farm machinery and do lots of work by hand. This includes sowing new seeds, planting in the fields, weeding crops mechanically and by hand. The field team also wash and trim vegetables in our washhouse along with the packhouse team.
Our packhouse team pack our veg into clean crates, bags, and nets, and label them, then putting them into the correct stack for each shop, restaurant, wholesaler, market trader or veg box scheme owner. Headed up by Dominika our packhouse manager, Magda her assistant, and a great team of women. Their attention to detail is second to none and we can be sure that the orders will be packed correctly by these super people.
Our delivery team of three are the face of our business on the road and help pack the refrigerated vans while checking temperatures are correct on vegetables, then hit the road for Dublin, Clare, Limerick and our local Galway with our produce delivering to shops, supermarkets, restaurants and wholesalers as well as zero waste shops, veg box schemes like www.greenearthorganics.ie and other food service customers. When they hit the traffic jams we say ” turn on the radio and sing your way through it” The lads always have a smile for our happy customers.
Our office team consists of Marie and Trish and Una working tirelessly to keep our ship afloat, managing sales and purchasing and making and taking phonecalls working with our supportive and valuable suppliers, customers and various inspectors who come to audit our organic standards.
