Harvest Day’s 100% Irish-sourced food delivery service helps customers throughout Ireland to shop for sustainably produced, organic Irish vegetables, while supporting small-scale Irish farms and producers.

Entrepreneur Fergus Halpin is behind the business, founding it in May 2020 during coronavirus lockdown.
