Our New Product: Watercress

We are now growing and producing watercress at McCormack Family Farms!

Watercress is known as one of the most nutritious leafy green whose flavour packs a peppery punch with every bite. The Irish season spreads from April to October, making it a versatile leaf which can be used in a selection of recipes and meals across different seasons.

We are constantly looking for new ways to bring fresh products to your table so you can enjoy a healthier and happier lifestyle which is why we have started to grow this new and exciting product on our farm. We have specially built waterbeds for this water loving plant to flourish in. We have since become the only commercial company supplying watercress to supermarkets across Ireland.

Our watercress is now available in Dunnes Stores across the country! Grab a bag in a shop near you and enhance your salad creations and elevate your nutritional game with watercress!
