Mary Corrigan established her business Noo Chocolates in December 2017 with her husband Damien. As well as being chocolatiers, the couple have a herd of Dexter cattle and are based in Ballina, Co Mayo.
Mary explains that living on a farm keeps her in touch with food production.
“If you’ve grown some vegetables or you’ve raised an animal and cared for it, you do start feeling more deeply about where your food is coming from,” she says.
Establishing Noo Chocolates
In 2011, Mary and Damien received a gift of a half-day chocolate making workshop that “sparked the fire” for their current business.
