Mayo supplier Harvest Moon Foods returns to Lidl

LIDL has announced the return of 36 products from 25 small Irish suppliers, including a local Mayo business, which were part of the retailer’s annual Kick Start Supplier Development Programme last summer.

With participating suppliers from Donegal through to Cork, joining Lidl’s existing network of more than 260 local Irish suppliers for the limited edition promotion, shoppers looking to buy Irish and support local will have plenty of variety to choose from alongside the retailer’s award-winning quality and value.

The limited edition range will be available from Thursday, January 28, and features Mayo-based supplier Harvest Moon Foods’ delicious range of hummus (€3.89 each), including Spicy Vegan, Sweet Potato & Coriander and Roasted Red Pepper flavours, and tasty vegan Pesto, Pâté and Tapenades (€4.99 each).

The Westport supplier has taken part in Lidl’s Kickstart programme since its launch in 2017. As a result of the partnership, the artisan supplier has been able to invest in new machinery which increased their capacity for larger orders and consequently grew their operations significantly.

Customers will be delighted to see their hugely popular hummus selection is now being listed as a result of its performance on the programme but will feature first as part of this limited edition promotion.

Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Lidl has already invested €1 million through the programme since its inception in 2017, with countless supplier success stories to tell, including many suppliers going on to stock Lidl’s every day range permanently.
