ardkeen food heroes
Ciara O'Dowd was raised in a five star guesthouse in Wexford renowned for its food and hospitality where her love of baking and developing recipes was nurtured.. Ciara uses only the freshest ingredients, often sourced from her own garden. You will never find artificial colours, flavourings preservatives or sweeteners on her ingredient lists
Joan & Bob Fitzgerald Cahill, when both lost their jobs in 2011, looked around and realised they had the skills and provisions to make a living doing something they loved in their own home. They had always dabbled with preserving, making jams, jellies, chutneys, ciders, beer wine and even champagne….Joan & Bobs Juicy Jams was born. The preserves are handmade in small batches using seasonal fruit.
Whitfield Honey is the continuation of a family beekeeping tradition. Owner Conor Trihy spent years studying and learning the art and the craft of managing bees from his grandfather. Whitfield Honey is produced from the wildflowers of Butlerstown and its surrounding areas. The local flowers provide Whitfield Honey with its unique floral taste and distinct fruity undertones.
A few years ago, in their house in South London, Malcolm and Fiona Falconer stuck a pin in a map of Ireland and decided to jump ship, buying a smallholding in the outskirts of Monamolin, Co Wexford. After “going wild” with the planting, they soon had so much to harvest they started producing jams, chutneys, relishes, syrups, pesto’s and much more!
