Greeba Farm Ltd. celebrated the 40th anniversary of Manx mushroom production with local couple Peter and Andrea Lawler who have spent 40 years together as a married couple. The couple were found following an appeal on Manx Radio by Kathy Irwin of Greeba Farm for anyone on the island also celebrating a special 40th moment. A stunning celebration cake, made to celebratory chef James Martin’s recipe, was shared with visitors to The Manx Mushroom Experience tent, at the recent Isle of Man Food & Drink Festival. Peter and Andrea joined staff from Greeba Farm at the Festival and have been presented with a ?40 gift voucher, kindly donated by The Courthouse restaurant and bar in Douglas, a key user of Manx grown mushrooms in its menu. Andrea said: “It was a lovely way to remember our special wedding anniversary and we really wish Greeba Farm the best of luck”. Kathy Irwin of Greeba Farm Ltd. added: “We wanted to share our 40th celebration and this was a perfect way to do it with the local community. As a Manx food producer it is good to pause and remember that without local people buying and enjoying our products we would have nothing to party about.” ENDS
