Tom Keogh has a great story to tell. Their family has been farming the land for over three generations, supplying the fresh produce market with potatoes grown on the farm in North County Dublin. Faced with falling demand for fresh spuds, Tom took a bold step, he began making crisps by hand in a shed on the farm.

That small experiment became Keogh’s Crisps, now one of Ireland’s best-loved food brands and a growing global export. Along the way, Tom has helped to revive interest in the humble potato, champion Irish produce and shine a light on the food security challenges facing Irish horticulture today.

In this episode of Food Matters, Tom talks to Mick Kelly of GIY about the heritage of Irish spuds, the ups and downs of launching a food brand, and why we need to protect the future of vegetable growing in Ireland.
