“We love what we do,” begins Enda. “It’s the satisfaction of knowing that our hard work is producing a food that tastes great – especially sliced and pan fried with bacon lardons or shredded in a salad. It’s so healthy too. Pure superfood! Like a fillet of folic acid. We are third generation Brussels sprout growers with a family history of growing reaching back a further four generations. We have been working with Aldi from the very beginning, for 20 years! Growing is in our DNA. We have unrivalled knowledge and expertise of production from plant to the plate with a production process that can maximise efficiency, effectiveness and ensure same-day freshness.” Anthony and Enda Weldon Brussels Sprout Growers Swords, Dublin
The greens of home.
“Five generations of the O’Shea family have farmed along the banks of the River Suir in Piltown, Co. Kilkenny since 1830,” James tells us. “Today we farm 1600 acres (200 acres of potatoes and the rest carrots and grass rotation) and employ 190 local people as well as 30-40 seasonal workers and students. Consistent quality and freshness are the cornerstones to our business. That’s why our carrots are freshly harvested at 5am each morning ready to be dispatched the same day. And why we only source our rooster potatoes from trusted growers.” James & TJ O’Shea Co. Kilkenny
