Master Chefs CEO, Pat, recently featured on Newstalk’s 28 Ways to Save the World podcast with Meghann Scully. In the first episode, Pasture to Plate, the discussion explores Master Chefs reason for focusing on sustainable farming, organic food production and how better choices in the field can mean a healthier planet. Pat introduces Ellan Farm, sharing the story behind its name, why and how it was established, the challenges and opportunities of going fully organic and how technology is helping to improve farm management and the overall efficiency of our business.

Newstalks 28 Ways to Save the World Podcast, with Meghann Scully, is a practical guide to greener living and the simple steps we can all take to tackle climate change. The first episode, Pasture to Plate, digs into how our food is grown, raised and brought to the table and how better choices in the field can mean a healthier planet for us all.

In this episode of Organic Matters, host Hannah Quinn-Mulligan interviews Pat O'Sullivan, the CEO of gourmet catering company Master Chefs in Limerick. Pat discusses buying 20 acres of land to establish Ellan farm and grow organic vegetables for his catering business, and talks about his plans for the future, creating his own on-site processing facilities on the farm and connecting his chefs with food production. He also speaks about a bio district that is currently being established in the Mid West. Pat considers that this initiative is not only of value to his business, in order to buy more local organic produce, but also for the wider community of organic producers, as well as the tourism and hospitality sector in the area.
