Another Wexford business won an award recently…
This time, it was Greenhill Fruit Farm which claimed the honours – and they claimed the top spot in their category at the Irish Quality Food and Drinks Awards. The awards ceremony was held on Tuesday 7 September 2024 at The Round Room, The Mansion House, Dublin
Speaking on their Gold award win, the Davidstown business said:
“We are delighted to announce that we scooped a Gold Award at this week’s Irish Quality Food & Drink Awards. Our Strawberries which we supply to Aldi Ireland were recognised as best in class in the fruit category and we couldn’t be happier. We want to say a big thank you to everyone who buys our fruit and we look forward to celebrating the win on our farm this weekend,” a spokesperson for the business said.
At the same awards, Wexford Home Preserves in association with Dunnes Stores Wexford won a Gold medal in the Preserves and Sweet Spreads for their Simply Better Handmade Mixed Berry Preserves.
Killowen Farm also took home a silver medal for their partnership with Dunnes Stores. Their “Dunnes Stores Simply Better Wexford Rich and Creamy Yogurt with Irish Strawberries from Killowen Farm” won silver in the Yogurt section.
