Glenilen Farm hailed as Irish food export success story
In last week’s report of a 12% increase in food and drink exports to €8.85 billion, Bord Bia said the company, founded in 1997, has grown from an artisanal and local beginning to become the largest premium dairy dessert and yoghurt producer in Ireland, supplying all major Irish retailers.
The Kingston family’s company employs 35, producing dairy desserts, yoghurts, creams and butter from the milk of their own dairy herd, near Drimoleague. Export revenue continues to grow strongly, thanks to a growth strategy since 2010 to create and grow British sales.
