The Pierce and Winterbotham families of Gold River Farm are key practitioners of County Wicklow’s organic aristocracy. They have revolutionised the way in which Dublin’s leading chefs source and use organic vegetables and salads. Chefs call Gold River in the evening, vegetables and salads are dug in the morning, and delivered straight away.
Alan Pierce and Mark Winterbotham also sell their beautiful produce at local markets, so it’s not just for chefs, and we have to applaud the stunning quality of their work, where every vegetable and salad leaf is not just vigorous and healthy, but also aesthetically delightful. We know that organics is better than chemicalised farming, but when you combine organics with the aesthetic supremacy of Gold River farm, you get something else altogether: agricultural produce as art.
