Fresh Healthy Convenient Food for a Better Ireland. Company History We have come a long way from 1987 when Founder Paddy Callaghan purchased 8 Hydroponic units from China to grow beansprouts in his garage in Co Meath, with just four local housewives on the payroll. An engineer by background, but an entrepreneur at heart, Paddy and his management team have built the company steadily over more than 30 years, always holding the products to the principles of healthy eating and high quality. Paddy is now Chairman of the company and the next generation in Rory & Ruth have taken over the helm. Along with an award winning senior management team, they run the company on a day to day basis, and have successfully grown the business through challenging economic conditions . Today Nature’s Best employs over 300 people and operate from a state of the art custom built factory 10 miles from the original site, in Drogheda Co Louth, just 25 minutes north of Dublin Airport.
