We (Jenny & Kenneth Keavey) started Green Earth Organics box
delivery scheme in 2006. The 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 5 years ago. I put it straight into
conversion for organic status in 2004. Currently we are farming on 15
acres of organically certified land, and another 15 acres is split between, a wild life biodiversity area, native woodland forestry (3000 trees) and red clover/grassland. There are also 3 ducks, 2 dogs and 2 donkeys!
Currently there are 3 full time employees and 3 part-time employees. We also have woofers and seasonal workers at certain times of the year. We have 6 polytunnels and grow a wide range of crops both indoors and in the field. Over the course of a year a typical seasonal box will contain 80% local organic produce.
At Green Earth Organics we care deeply about the
environment, and believe that people should be able to choose foods
that are grown as nature intended, taste fantastic, and add to their
well being.
