A lovely visit last week to the farm from Ben Dineen, Exec Head Chef at ##TheLeinsterHotel Dublin.
Myself and David are over the moon to know he is a big fan of our potatoes and features them on dishes throughout the hotel.
Was lovely to meet you Ben and Thanks again for coming to see us.

We used the “other site” as an effective and fun way of reaching a large number of customers and journos😊
It was an important part of our online platform stylebarn.ie
That hell site is NOW the polar opposite of everything that our business stands for.
This place matches our ethos, perfectly😊

Vanilla Layer Cake with Ermine Icing
This is the sort of cake you’d find in an old-fashioned diner of your dreams: a majestic creation, frosted with fluffy, super-sweet buttercream, just made to stand aloft and enticingly on the counter....

A little snap shot of the packing shed today. Lots & lots of prep happening, keeping up with the couriers and the Christmas buzz definitely kicking in today. We are busy and we don't take that for granted. We are more than grateful to the chefs who keep us going ❤️ especially right now.
