This week, Gary and Gareth welcome Kenneth Keavey of Green Earth Organics, the Galway-based organic farm delivering veggie boxes across Ireland.

Kenneth talks about leaving a career in chemistry and pharmaceuticals to return to the family farm, why organic growing matters, and what it really takes to build healthy soil, rotate crops and grow food without relying on chemicals.

The lads dig into everything from wonky veg and supermarket standards to why local food production needs more support, how climate change is making growing more unpredictable, and how to embrace seasonal eating while getting the best out of your veg at home.

In this week’s Nespresso Dish of the Week, Gareth mixes things up with a summer sangria. Then it’s over to your Culinary Conundrums, where the lads answer a listener’s question about cooking oils.
