Galway is a place packed to the brim with wonderful, inspirational people. For this week’s Inspired we have featured some of our favourite couples doing incredible things! From organic farmers to fashion designers, what better way to spread love this weekend than through supporting those who bring it into everything they do!

Kenneth and Jenny Keavey took over the land in Corrandulla over 14 years ago, creating what we know today as Green Earth Organics farm. Inherited from his grandfather and father, there is history and love in this soil and everything produced right down to the roots. In 2006, Jenny and Kenneth started the Green Earth Organics delivery scheme. This operation brings fresh, organic produce straight to our doors, allowing us to share this love of good, high quality and local food into our own homes.

Flowers are a popular gift for the ones we love, and here, it’s more than an after-thought or cliché.
