Established in the 1060’s in the historic Dublin Corporation Fruit & Veg Market ( along side our own Richie Wilson’s grandfather’s potato stall), Eddie McCormack saw the potential to grow his own produce locally rather than importing. For 40 years now the McCormack family have provided homegrown, sustainable, leaves and herbs in the heart of County Meath.
In the 1990s, Eddie’s son, Stephen, graduated from the same horticultural college and joined the family farm full time. Like father, like son, the pair shared a vision – not only to grow the business but also to grow what everyone else imports. By the end of the decade, Eddie and Stephen were growing herbs and baby leaf salads exclusively.
Today Stephen heads up the business and McCormack Family Farms have become Ireland’s largest grower of baby leaf salads, fresh cut herbs, microgreens and edible flowers. SOLE makes full use of this enormously flavoursome produce in dishes like our Tuna Tataki.
