Locally grown food at a fair price

Kinsale Food Club is working with two local farmers to grow oats and potatoes using a new system of  food production known as Community Supported Agriculture (CSA).

These days farmers are mainly getting supported in the dairy and beef sector of farming. So it’s up to us the local community to support the farmer and encourage them to grow vegetables so that they are fresh and easily sourced for us. This creates a stronger link to our food and creates community resilience.

This a great idea, instead of buying and paying for our oats and spuds every week, we pay for it all in one go. Let’s put it this way €240 for a years supply is only approximately €8 a week for local spuds, and that is just for a full share. You could do a half share instead which is even cheaper / €4 per week. So if it’s local and organic it’s going to be fresher, we also use less carbon as we are not transporting from afar. We are also helping to strengthen the local economy..............................................continued
