Finnigans are one hell of an operation. I watch quite a few of their videos over the last two, three years and it's just bigger than i realised. I knew they make their own meals too which is a great way of using product that shops won't take.
Thanks for the tour, Andrew and Finnigans.
They are, impressive set up.
Interesting to hear Paul say the board would come down on anyone not adhering to there standards. Red tractor should be the same!!. Hope you had a good Christmas Andrew, see you Sunday.
Two of my favourite Farm tubers together
😊😊😊👍
Fantastic setup.
Great Video again Andrew 👍
Brilliant very interesting thank you
I just found your channel , once I saw Paul Finnegan i knew it was going to be great. Iv subscribed and thumbs up so I'll catch you soon again 😊😊😊
Welcome! Watch updates 64,65 and 66 for a full intro on the farm.
Brilliant video Andrew, great to see behind the scenes of a highly impressive farming business. The way they have responded to demand for local food in making so many ready meal types of product is superb. Farmers taking control, rather than allowing 3rd parties to cream the profit off is a real lesson for the industry. The workshop is also superb, the best I've seen on any farm.
BTW Kerrs Pink is a very old Scottish potato variety, almost only grown in Ireland cos they love a dry, fluffy potato, like Rooster is too.
HNY to you and the gang in Lincs.
Totally agree, HNY.
Great video Andrew. Had the pleasure of working for Paul and Joe from 2008 to 2019. Great family farm ran to the highest of standards..
What an experience that would have been. 👌😊

Great video. The Finnegan’s have a great setup very impressive. Great vid Andrew
A fascinating look into their operation. Very impressive set up. Processing machinery is always extraordinary in their invention. Thank you Andrew. It would be interesting to hear how the Irish government supports farmers and growers there. A very Happy New Year to you and to everyone, like me, who appreciate your videos.
Thank you. HNY. 🎅🎄
Great update Andrew. And what a setup Finnegans farm is very impressive 😊
Hi Andrew,great to see a successful family business, lreland "packs" well above its size in farming! Happy New Year and hopefully the weather will be better in 24!
They are a fantastic business. 2024 can’t be any worse than 2023 surely!
Hi Andrew a great video again, many years ago I use to pack potatoes in bags at a fruit and
Local veg wholesaler. I do remember we had deliveries from companies like Clements and Spalding.
I have also before now bought a bottle of English wine, and it has says (made with imported grape juice).
I did even call them and , the way it works that it can be packaged here in the uk then its British🤔.
Fantastic and very interesting Andrew thank you so much for your vlogs throughout the year and a good new year to you and yours 🏴
Thanks Alex, same to you.
Great video there Andrew very interesting

Very interesting thank you
Great video as ever very interesting to see how veg packing and processing is done Thank you.
Great video Andrew hope you all had a great Christmas
😊👍🎅🎄
Excellent video thanks

Perhaps farmers should form into small groups to produce items in this sort of format and certify the items as Red Tractor under their own hand but subject to inspection.
As an ex production engineer interested to see the machinery.
Another super video Andrew, the finnegans have serious way of going, it's nice to see you on an Irish farm.
I lived the trip, the Finnegans were great, got on with Paul very well.
Finnigans Similar operation to Country Crest
With there grading systems like these there is minimal waste as most out grades from main line have a secondary line that makes use of them and I assume that what does get used in there beef fattening unit
The kitchen factory uses all potatoes that most companies would send for animal feed, they only have the peelings and rotten spud which go to livestock.
Meat coming into Ireland from other countries an label Irish so not just an English problem
Well said, plenty of meat coming into Ireland and bord bia stamped! And if you remember not too long ago there was horse meat in the factories for human consumption. If a farmer did that he be closed down. Same old story doesn’t matter the country. Uk or Ireland!
Wouldn't be surprised if It's these massive, massive companies that do it. That's my guess, just so big no one can or will touch them.
No shout out for Landquip sprayers bit sad😢 wrong coulor
😂😂😊
If the European growing standards exceed red tractor , which some cases they do why complicate the system with unrecognised Marks customer s don’t recognise.Seaonal supply of the same product is impossible from one country.
Speaking as a potato grower,vegetable Bulb and flower company director.
