how it all began

One man’s vision is now a thriving team with specialist expertise across sourcing, distribution, farming and value adding innovation.

Our business began in Dublin’s Smithfield Market, where the Donnelly name became known for quality and the personal touch. Many decades have passed but our commitment to bringing consumers across Ireland the freshest high-quality produce remains just as strong.

We’re a third generation family business but our family has grown to include growers from all across the globe. There’s a whole world of delicious, fresh produce out there and these strong partnerships enable us to bring the best of it to the Irish market.

We work with growers in over 20 countries. From zingy citrus and juicy stone fruit to leafy greens and vine ripened vegetables, we tirelessly source the highest quality produce from each end of the globe. Whatever our customers need, our partnerships mean we can deliver.
