Galway’s Green Earth Organics, a business that has been deeply rooted in sustainability since its inception in May 2006 - when it made its first organic vegetable box deliveries - has marked its 20th birthday by announcing a new Sustainability Festival featuring thought leaders from the interconnected areas of food, health, nature and the environment.

Kenneth and Jenny Keavey’s family farm is situated just 10 miles from Galway city near the village of Corrandulla, Eircode H91 F9C5. They converted the farm to an organic vegetable farm in 2004 and have been growing vegetables and delivering organic produce nationwide for more than 17 years. They farm 20 acres and have 2.5 acres aside for an area of wildlife biodiversity, native trees, and red clover/grassland. They have planted more than 7,000 trees on their land, and now that they have run out of space they donate a percentage of all purchases to native tree planting charities. They are certified by the Irish Organic Association and everything they sell is organic.

Local farmers considering an application to the Organic Farming Scheme have until April 30 to do so, following the reopening of the scheme earlier this month, with an additional budget of €4 million for 2021.
