Celebrating the best of what we grow, create and produce here in Ireland – this ongoing series looks at some of the many things we create here.
Here are five more producers that stood out for me this week:
Chilly Moo
This brand of frozen yoghurt was created by Clare and Joanna who came up with Chilly Moo out of a passion for eating well without sacrificing an ounce of enjoyment.
Gluten free, low GI (because of the natural fruit sugars) and less than 3% fat, these tasty yoghurts are currently available in three flavours, including Mixed Berry – YUM!

Elda Wild Irish Venison
Elda Wild Irish Venison was established by Jason Conway in 2012, a native of Waterford. All animals are sourced within a 60 mile radius of their unit and have a full traceability system from field to fork.
Not believing in waste, they try to use as much of the animals as possible, curing the animal hides, using the antlers as handles for walking and shooting sticks, and for the handles of hand made hunting knives. The antlers are also used to make buttons and toggles.

Galway Goat Farm
Producing award-winning goat milk products in North County Galway, this farm started in business in the summer of 2012.
The fresh pasteurised milk is produced, processed and bottled in Galway, from the farms own mixed herd of Anglo Nubian and Sannen goats.
Bottled in 1 litre glass bottles, the milk is seasonal (March to November) because the goats need a break from their long summer producing their milk and to produce kids!

Pure, unprocessed and carefully sourced, their relationship with their vegetable suppliers is of vital importance – giving them the freshest of ingredients.
