On Monday December 13th, transition year Food & Hospitality students held their “Christmas Market” in the Home Economics room.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to open it to the public this year but none the less it was a fantastic success and there was a festive atmosphere on the day.
This market was the culmination of an entire term’s work where students created, branded and sold their own artisan food product. There were bumps along the way, but I am sure they will all agree that all their hard work was worth it when they saw their stalls and brand come to life on market day.
The students had an opportunity to get feedback during their product development stage from Siobhan O’Callaghan owner of Kalbo’s in Skibbereen. This feedback proved invaluable for ideas on branding, packaging and costing. Huge congratulations to all our Food & Hospitality students on their incredibly successful products and all their very hard work.
The following are the companies that displayed their wares:
1. Beacon Biscuits
