Buying 20ac to address short supply chain issues in organics

In this episode of Organic Matters, host Hannah Quinn-Mulligan interviews Pat O’Sullivan, the CEO of gourmet catering company Master Chefs in Limerick.

Pat discusses buying 20 acres of land to establish Ellan farm and grow organic vegetables for his catering business, and talks about his plans for the future, creating his own on-site processing facilities on the farm and connecting his chefs with food production.

He also speaks about a bio district that is currently being established in the Mid West. Pat considers that this initiative is not only of value to his business, in order to buy more local organic produce, but also for the wider community of organic producers, as well as the tourism and hospitality sector in the area.
