Thanks to Anne Maher and all the team at The Urban Co-Op in Limerick city for a fantastic visit. We just stopped off for delicious homemade scones (local flour, butter and jam) with organic teas and coffees.

So inspiring to hear about the journey of the co-op and their commitment to providing clean, local and organic food. We talked about the importance of food for our health and the myth of ‘cheap food’ (that is so costly for the planet, labourers and animals).

Anne had a basket of the top brands of food purchased in Ireland. How has our diet changed so much in the last 20 years?

We could have stayed all day and there are plans among the collaborators to make regular visits to purchase from the Co-op and deliver in Ballybunion.
