West Cork firm set to enjoy just desserts

Alan Kingston describes himself as a simple farmer, but his farm has just signed a deal to supply 138 Tesco stores in Britain with a range of desserts.

Mr Kingston is a co-founder of Glenilen Farm, whose range of yoghurts have managed to crack Britain all the way from Drimoleague, West Cork.

“I think our appeal is down to product, its uniqueness. It ticks all the boxes in the high-end niches: Taste, story, and authenticity. It seems that smaller producers can make more inroads into the UK, it is a long, hard, slow process but there are opportunities,” he said.
