Everything you want to know

Established in 1997, Duhallow Community Food Services is an award-winning community enterprise providing a subsidised meal service, to those that are not able to cook for themselves and are isolated because of age, illness, lack of transport or other disadvantages that result in living in a rural area.

In December 2014, our centre moved from Boherbue to the new James O’Keeffe Innovative Centre, located on the grounds of the James O’Keeffe Institute Newmarket. This new food centre now facilitates our bakery, our rural meals services, school catering service and restaurant.
