Green Earth Organics Sustainability Festival
About this Event
Join us to celebrate 20 years of Green Earth Organics at our inaugural Sustainability Festival, taking place on Saturday, September 12th, 2026, from 10am to 5pm, on our 28-acre, 100% certified organic family farm in Corrandulla, Co. Galway.
Since making our first organic vegetable box delivery in May 2006, sustainability has been at the heart of everything we do. To mark this milestone birthday, we're bringing together some of Ireland's most inspiring voices in food, nature and the environment for a very special day on the farm — timed perfectly to coincide with our bountiful autumn harvest.

Food, Music & More
Fuel your day with food from our festival food trucks, The Salt Project and more, serving hyperlocal, plant-focused menus built around seasonal produce harvested right here on the farm. Enjoy tastings from local growers and artisan food producers, live music, and plenty more to discover throughout the day.
Our farm shop will be open on the day too, so you can leave with a car full of the best organic fruits, vegetables and groceries.
