What is The Happy Pear Organic Farm?
The Farm is a 4 acre regenerative organic farm growing seasonal fruit & veg and supplying it direct to the local community via a weekly veg box scheme.
The Goal
The farm exists to connect the local community to its food and to create a financially viable blueprint for small scale farms that is easily replicable for others to do.
We are now offering the best organic veggies direct to your door. The veg is grown using organic and regenerative techniques just off the main street in Kilcoole, Co Wicklow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of veg will I receive?
Each week, you’ll receive the freshest veg that is in season. We grow over 40 types of veg and strive to provide a wide variety week-to-week, so there’s always something you love and never too much of something you’re tired of.
Here’s an example of what we are growing:
Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Squash, Courgettes, Garlic, Carrots, Beetroot, Spinach, Rocket, Pak Choi, Cabbage, Broccoli, Lettuce, Purslane, Curly Kale, Cavolo Nero (Dark Kale), Rainbow Chard, Scallions, Asian Greens, Kohl Rabi, Purple Sprouting Broccoli, Radish, Mustard Greens, Brussel Sprouts
Are your vegetables organic?
Yes, we rigorously follow organic practices on the farm: we use no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, we use no GMOs, we focus on building up the soil health by using tons of organic compost and use minimal soil disturbance, as well as planting up habitats for pollinators. We are licensed organic growers (with the Organic Trust) yet seeing as we only commenced farming in April 2022, the land is officially ‘Organic – in conversion’ for an initial 2-year period. You’re welcome to visit the farm to check and see how your veg is grown!
What if I don’t know how to cook a certain vegetable?
Each week, you’ll receive a newsletter with a list of what’s in the box, along with recipes, and cooking inspiration to help you in the kitchen.
Can I get it delivered to my door?
Absolutely. There will be an additional €5 charge for this.
How does payment work?
Just like Netflix, you provide your bank details once and then payment will be taken each week after you receive your weekly box. You can unsubscribe at any time.
What if I go out of town and have to miss a box?
No problem. If you’re heading out of town or going away on holidays, you can skip a week or two and you won’t receive any produce on those weeks and you won’t be charged either. Your next box will resume after this period and will continue as normal.
What if I need to cancel my weekly box?
If you’re moving out of town or are dissatisfied with the box for any reason, you can cancel at any time. If you could provide us with any feedback that we can learn from to help us improve our service, we would greatly appreciate it.
How can I contact you with a question?
Email us at [email protected]. We’re always happy to answer questions.
About The Happy Pear Organic Farm
The Happy Pear farm is a 4 acre organic, regenerative farm based in Kilcoole, Co Wicklow just 10 mins south of Greystones, focused on minimum till or no dig practices where we not only adhere to the current organic growing standards but also focus on improving the soil microbe health and increasing the biodiversity around the farm through planting a mix of different pollinator species.
We produce up to 40 different crops across the full year and we provide these through a number of different channels. Our central focus is on our weekly veg box scheme where you can subscribe to receive a weekly veg box of the freshest local and in season veg and can collect it from a number of different collection points in the local area or have it delivered to their door.
We provide as much organic veg to The Happy Pear kitchen and shop in Greystones as we can across the year, we provide fresh herbs to our production facility and we sell a number of crops to local stores around the wider Greystones area.
We also have a purpose built indoor farm specialising in growing the most nutrient dense foods on the planet namely living sprouts, micro greens and wheatgrass which are available across Ireland through SuperValu, Centra and through leading foodie stores such as Nolan’s of Clontarf, Fresh supermarket, The Hopsack etc.

We began this venture in 2009 and have been using certified organic seeds since the beginning and in 2018, our Bean Mix and Alfalfa sprouts have become certified organic products themselves.
Each sprout we grow has a range of different benefits. Our Organic Bean Mix is high in protein and high in fibre. Our Organic Alfalfa Sprouts are great for stabilising blood sugar levels and are packed full of digestive enzymes making them easier to digest and absorb. Our Super Sprout Mix not only tastes great but is high in protein and a great source of fibre.
