With the distinction of being the largest worm farm in Ireland and the UK, Living Green has solidified its reputation as a pioneer in this field. As the sole manufacturer of certified organic wormcast and certified organic compost in Ireland, Living Green impressed judges with its dedication to producing top-quality peat-free compost, solidifying its position as a leader in sustainable agriculture.

Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council, Cllr. Martin Harley stated: ‘’It’s fantastic to see a Donegal business recognised nationally for their hard work and growth over time and generations. Neil Crossan and his team at Living Green are a credit to themselves, their community and Donegal as a whole.’’

Congratulating the team on the win, Brenda Hegarty, Head of Enterprise Donegal, said: “Huge congratulations to Neil Crossan and all the Living Green team on winning at the National Enterprise Awards. It is a great win for the business and for Donegal, marking the second consecutive year a Donegal business has received such prestigious recognition at these awards.  Living Green is an excellent example of a family-run, sustainability-minded business that has grown steadily across many years, creating employment locally and embracing innovation to build an international business from Donegal. Neil Crossan and his team are great ambassadors for the county, and it’s wonderful that their hard work and dedication has been recognised with this win at the National Enterprise Awards.”

Neil Crossan said: “We are delighted to have won the Green Sustainability Award at the National Enterprise Awards. It was an honour to represent our county, and to get the win is extra special. Congratulations to all the finalists and winners. I also want to thank the Local Enterprise Office team in Donegal. We’ve been in business for over twenty years, and they have always been very supportive in helping us to grow and scale our business.”
