Irish Seed Savers Association
Irish Seed Savers is a nonprofit charity (CHY 13989) supporting the conservation of Ireland’s unique environmental heritage, preserving and distributing heirloom vegetable seeds, potatoes, grains and Irish heritage apple trees. We provide information and educate the public on agricultural biodiversity locally and globally. We want to create an awareness of Ireland’s very special heritage varieties of apple trees and heirloom vegetable seeds. Due to modern farming practices it is estimated that over 80% of heritage fruit & vegetable varieties have been lost. People are becoming more aware of this, and the importance of conserving our unique heritage; be it cultural or environmental. Here at Irish Seed Savers, our aim is to make the varieties that have been saved from extinction available to the public. These varieties are grown organically on site, are open pollinated, free from chemicals, suited to our Irish climate and as natural as nature intended. As Ireland’s only public Seed Bank we have a duty to protect and preserve them for future generations. Our 20 acres of gardens, orchards and woodlands are open to the public, where we provide a space for community groups to come together and learn about Ireland’s diverse ecological heritage. We also provide a number of education and outreach programs to schools, giving talks, demonstrations and workshops helping them to attain a Green Flag award for their environmental education program.

Openhive Honey
OpenHive is a beekeeping conservation organisation and community run by Kyle Petrie, Mark Earley and Jack McGrath. The simple focus of OpenHive is to harness a combined passion for beekeeping with a need for environmental sustainability. Launched in November 2019 OpenHive rears and breeds Irish black honeybees. To support this process OpenHive sells locally-produced Irish honey from apiaries in Dublin and Wicklow. Get in touch to learn more about how we can partner with you on your CSR or ESG goals. OpenHive keeps bees naturally, with as few interventions as possible. OpenHive is committed to maintaining local biodiversity and decreasing impact on the environment, specifically aiming to help the Irish honeybee re-establish herself as a central part of the Irish ecosystem. As part of our eco-friendly approach the jars that hold the honey are screen-printed to eliminate the need for single-use plastic labelling and can be returned for future reuse."We want to do as much as we can to help the Irish black honeybee through our beekeeping and breeding of the bees we keep. The role of the bee is essential in the conservation of the biodiversity of the Irish habitat. We want the Apis Mellifera Mellifera to be the norm both for local beekeepers and in the wild here in Dublin. As the OpenHive grows we intend on being an active part of the local beekeeping community, providing services such as honey extraction and jarring. We are very excited to champion ethical and eco-friendly beekeeping methods along our journey."- Kyle Petrie & Mark Earley
