Gold Member Case Study - McCormack Family Farms

Established in 1984 by Eddie McCormack, McCormack Family Farms is now run by his son, Stephen McCormack, and has become Ireland’s largest producer of baby leaf salads, herbs, microgreens, and edible flowers. By blending traditional farming methods with advanced agri-tech solutions, such as smart sensors and satellite systems, they extend their growing season, ensure high-quality produce for retailers and food service providers, and reduce the need for imports.
