How Organic Exotic Mushrooms saved one Irish couple after Brexit

In the final episode of Season 3 of the Organic Matters Podcast, we meet Dolores and Joe Gorman from Garryhinch Wood Exotic Mushrooms in Co. Offaly. The pair were in the mushroom business for almost 30 years exporting to the UK but had to close when Brexit hit due to the fluctuation in sterling. After a two-year break, they were back in business having diversified into organic exotic mushrooms.

They now produce 7 different varieties of organic exotic mushrooms for Irish retailers and restaurants and recently they won a National Organic Award for their shiitake and white beech mushrooms range in the New and Innovative Product category.

Joe and Dolores talk about their transition to organics and how they have carved out a niche for themselves in the exotic mushroom business.
