Food business satisfies two retired couples’ appetite for success

Rows of Tralee: Sásta Sausages and Skellig Pantry both have successful stalls at the Tralee Farmers’ Market

But, in their golden years, two couples in Co Kerry have shown how to turn a love of food into thriving, quality food businesses. Both Sásta Sausages and Skellig Pantry sell at the Tralee Farmers’ Market, opposite the Brandon Hotel every Saturday.
