Supervalu

At SuperValu we are the biggest supporter of local producers in Ireland because we believe in local. Now we have taken this a step further by joining forces with Bord Bia and the Local Enterprise Office Network to create the Food Academy Programme. Food Academy works with and nutures small businesses through their journey from start up to getting their products on our shelves. There are currently over 300 Food Academy small producers in SuperValu stores. Your local SuperValu retailer is also on board giving strong retail and marketing advice as well as providing shelf space opportunities. It's all about encouraging entrepreneurship in Ireland and giving small producers a big chance!

Liffey Meats

Five generations of our family have worked in the beef industry. The knowledge, experience and passion are things we believe enhance our products today. In a small town in Co. Monaghan, Mr James Mallon started his own business over a century ago. Strong ties of loyalty and trust between Liffey Meats and Irish farmers are established due to generations in the industry. In order to further develop these relationships, Liffey Meats opened the gates of their own farm to share their knowledge on animal welfare, feeding and husbandry. These farm visits became another tradition for Liffey Meats and we continue to open our gates to the farming community of Ireland.
