Local fields. Local expertise. Local food.
For more than 30 years, Welgro Produce has been growing Brussels sprouts in Swords, with a third generation now carrying the family tradition forward. Harvested across more than 160 acres, their fresh Irish sprouts are delivered to customers within hours of picking.
Sysco is proud to partner with Welgro to support local growers, sustainable farming practices, and the producers who keep food close to home. Because when we invest in local farms, we strengthen local food systems and communities.
