Food is in Niamh Scally’s blood. As the daughter of Eugene and Caitriona Scally, the owners of Scally’s Supermarket in Clonakilty, Niamh grew up learning from the best.
“My parents encouraged my entrepreneurial spirit from a young age, as well as a real passion for supporting local producers,” she says. “I grew up watching my uncle Martin growing potatoes and then selling them in our supermarket so from childhood I had an understanding and appreciation for supporting these smaller producers.”
