Cork Rooftop Farm’s first store threw open its doors yesterday and is ready to supply the people of Cork with fresh produce from the rooftop, as well as the no-dig market garden.
Brian McCarthy’s Rooftop Farm project began last year during lockdown atop his family business Central Floral Supplies, and has been such a success that this week the 34-year-old has been able to open a store on Cork’s busy Cornmarket St.
Writing on Instagram yesterday, McCarthy said: “Thanks to everyone who helped us get to this point! Absolutely delighted to have the farm shop open for business. We’ll be here on Cornmarket street 7 days a week, Mon-Fri 10am-6pm, Sat 8am-5pm and Sun 11am-5pm.
“Still a bit more to be finished off and done but we’ll get through that in the coming days and weeks.”
