Redwood food producer features on tv show

A North Tipperary producer of free-range pork burgers is a finalist in the popular TV programme 'Taste of Success' on RTE.

 

The show, sponsored by Lidl, sent out the call across the country for budding entrepreneurs to come up with a product that would fit into the mix of products already available in Lidl stores.

 

There was a magnificent prize available - €100,000, which includes marketing support, product royalties, a cash prize and the chance to see your product featured and sold on the shelves of 141 Lidl stores across Ireland.

 

Alfie McCaffrey from Oldfarm, Redwood, in North Tipperary decided to enter his free-range pork burger into the competition.  There were hundreds of entries, and Alfie’s pork burger was chosen to go through to the Munster finals.

 

The show featuring Alfie will be broadcast on RTE1 at 8.30pm on Tuesday November 11th.
