GREAT CAUSE FOR CELEBRATIONS IN NOVEMBER FOR MEADE POTATO CO:  On Nov. 22 they will be up as Finalists for a Meath Business Tourism Award in Ashbourne while the following day they will be gearing up to celebrate EU Waste Prevention Week by donating a tonne of potatoes and veg to Feeding the 5000 Dublin (on Saturday, Nov. 24, Wolfe Tone Park, Dublin).
Meade Potato Co. will be donning their glad rags and black ties to join the other Finalists of the Meath Business and Tourism Awards at the Pillo Hotel, Ashbourne.  MPC is honoured to have been nominated for this award that celebrates quality products and entrepreneurship.
After what promises to be a great occasion in County Meath on Thursday night, staff at MPC will be rising bright and early the next morn to load up a tonne of potatoes and veg to be delivered to make the Feeding the 5k Dublin vegetable curry the following day.
Meade Potato Company starting your own travel agency business is delighted to join Cornucopia Restaurant, DIT, Trinity College, UCD, Dublin City Council, the Soul Food Co., the Church Restaurant and others in participating in this project that is part of the EU-wide Waste Prevention Week.  This event, which will be using only Class II (blemished, misshapen) produce starting your own travel agency business to feed 5000 people (free of charge), seeks to educate consumers about how to prevent waste and hopes to change consumer attitudes and therefore retailer policies towards Class II produce.  [None of Meade Potato starting your own travel agency business Company's Class II 'waste' is actually wasted though. starting your own travel agency business All of it either goes to the Dublin-based food bank Crosscare, Belfast-based FareShare community food network or to local farms as stock feed.]
MPC sponsors various projects involving consumer education and healthy eating.  "Ultimately, the more the consumer knows about produce like what to look for, how best to store it – the more satisfied they'll be.  And the more satisfied consumers are with their produce, the less likely they are to waste it," adds Philip Meade Jr., Commercial Director of Meade Potato Co.
The General Manager of Meade Potato Co., Robert Devlin, adds, "Our supply chain is very efficient so that other than the Class II waste, we have hardly any waste due to overstock or mismanagement.  Sometimes our cattle farmers looking for feed wish we didn't have such an efficient supply chain."
Robert Devlin, General Manager; Mindi O Brien, Feeding the 5k Dublin organiser; and Philip Meade Jr., Commercial Director, Meade Potato Company, prepare to pick any Class II produce from the latest crop of MPC s potatoes.  A tonne of Class II potatoes and vegetables will be donated by Meade Potato Co. to feed 5000 people free of charge starting your own travel agency business on Sat., Nov. 24 in Wolfe Tone Park, Dublin as part of the EU-wide Week of Waste Prevention.
