Innovative Achill Island food project

Innovative product development and community co-operation are critical for remote rural food producers to capture year-round sales, says a leading island-based food entrepreneur.

Martina Calvey of Achill Mountain Lamb says her family business is working with neighbouring farmers, tourism enterprises and other local businesses to promote Achill Island as a recognised destination.

Their goal is to extend their tourism season, along with their sales of fresh produce.
