In Store News…

We have been a busy little team over the last few weeks.  First off, we have National Organic Week 2009 coming next week.  It takes place on September 14^th.  We will be celebrating this with fantastic in store and web special offers! In addition, we will be doing in store tasting from some of our local Irish artisan suppliers.

Forthcoming media coverage for our busy store includes a feature in The Irish Times on Monday 14^th of September.  Also, we will be doing a weekly radio show on Country Mix FM entitled just good food.  That begins next week and will continue for the next six weeks.

Board Bia kindly asked us to be a judge for the National Organic Awards, and lucky us we got to sample over 100 delicious new organic products.  The results will be out soon and we wish the best of luck to all our suppliers!

Its award season!  We have been shortlisted to seven excellent companies for the 2009 Enterprise Awards. These awards recognise entrepreneurs and their achievements.  It is a really honour to be nominated along with six other great companies.  We find out the results at the awards ceremony on Tuesday the 15^th, fingers crossed for us.

Our website has been nominated in the Irish Web Awards 2009 for “Best E-Commerce Website” and “Most beautiful website in Ireland.  In addition, we have been entered into the 2009 Golden Spider web awards for “Best Retail & Home Shopping Website” and “Best use of Film, Digital Animation or Motion Graphic”.  Let’s hope our little creation gets a well earned pat on the back!

We are also delighted to announce that we have just become a certified member of Good Food Ireland.  They have completed a full review of our store and will be publishing their findings shortly!

Our weekly Irish Vegetable box is proving to be a roaring success as you guys really are keeping our local farmer Marc Michel on his toes!  Remember to call the store and you can put in a standing order for a box every week!  The contents of the box changes with the seasons!

We still have another 400 products to add to our online store, our team are busy photographing and reviewing each product!  We are adding about 50 new products a week!

Finally, we do like to help out where we can, so this year, half of our staff are arranging a 25km trek in aid of the ISPCC.  We have fifteen people on board and are going to be trekking through the Wicklow mountains on Saturday 26^th of September.  Over the next few weeks we will be raising money in store so please give what you can!

Keep the product suggestions coming and remember we love feedback so feel free to email our team.
