Certified Members

The Food Coast initiative certifies businesses that grow or produce food in Donegal and service & retail sector businesses that sell Donegal made produce. The Food Coast Brand is a mark of origin and allows consumers to identify food which is produced in Donegal or businesses which sell Donegal made produce. Applications are now being accepted and interested food businesses should get in touch with the Local Enterprise Office.

If you have a food business in Donegal and would like to apply for the Certification or see if you meet the criteria, please contact Maura Toner at mtoner@donegalenterprisefund.ie
