The Happy Pear has the most delicious organic salad leaves mix from Marc Michel, who has an organic farm in Kilpedder, Co Wicklow. There is adorable baby pak choi, baby spinach, rocket and mustard leaves, which give the mix a piquant bite. At 20 euro per kilo it is certainly a better deal than you can get at any supermarket for organic baby salad leaves (that are always pre-packed and lack in flavour). It ticks off all my boxes: local produce, inexpensive, organic and tasty! But hurry, this mix is so good it flies out of the shop. The Happy Pear also sell a more traditional rocket and mustard leaf mix, which is great too.
Don’t be put off by the sign above the box with the salad mix which says that it is exported from Holland. As one of the owners told me they keep forgetting to change the sign. How laid-back they are!
