Local Enterprise Office Kildare with support of County Kildare LEADER Partnership and Kildare LCDC are establishing the Flavours of Kildare Food Network as part of an ongoing effort to harness the power of the ‘collective’ and to ensure that our unique food and drink heritage benefits from the attention it deserves.

Ultimately, the goal of Flavours of Kildare is to help the county nurture its enviable status as an iconic food brand.
