We are so excited to announce that our Baby Beef Ragu has won the New & Innovative award in the National Organic Awards 2020!

The biennial National Organic Awards celebrate the quality and excellence across the Irish organic sector with seven categories judged by a panel of industry experts.

Commenting on the win, Irene said, ‘On behalf of myself and all the team here at Pipin Pear, we are delighted to have won this innovation award for our Baby Beef Ragu! I’d like to say a massive thank you to Bord Bia, our retail partners who support our product and our lovely customers who gobble it up!’

To coincide with the Awards, Bord Bia has released research on consumer attitudes to organic food. The findings show that a quarter of consumers have purchased more organic produce since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, with 27% buying organic food weekly or more.

Commenting on the National Organic Awards, Minister of State, Land Use and Biodiversity, Pippa Hackett T.D. said, ‘These National Organic Awards provide an important opportunity to recognise excellence so I want first of all to congratulate all of today’s winners. Seeing their innovation and creativity, I know we can be confident the Organic sector will continue to thrive. It is a vital sector of the Irish food and drink industry, and one for which this Government is committed to developing domestic and international markets.”
