DISTINCTION

Good Food Ireland® is the only all island standard that gives you standout and recognition for your commitment to local food and drink, supporting Irish farmers, food producers and fishermen. Trust and recommendation are what we have built our reputation on since 2006. But Good Food Ireland® is much more than a recognised standard, it is a marketing partnership offering access to an engaged audience of food lovers, leisure and business travellers. We aim to increase awareness and drive customers to quality local providers who offer an approved authentic taste of our island. We make it easy for tourists and locals alike to find food service providers and producers that showcase our island’s indigenous ingredients. Through our network, we connect chefs directly with farmers, food producers and fishermen to support the development of sustainable local sourcing. As such we are an all island platform, from which chefs, producers and food lovers can share in Ireland’s local culinary and cultural identity.
