Established in 1992 by sisters Maura and Siobhan Kearney, Kearney's Home Baking was born out of a shared passion for home baking. Building upon a Diploma undertaken in Bakery Production and Management at the former Dublin Institute of Technology, the sisters worked diligently throughout their studies to carry out comprehensive market research and testing using their mother's recipes. They quickly identified a significant local demand for tasty, traditional products like soda bread, scones and apple tarts. Equipped with family expertise, determination and a love for good food, a bakehouse was built on a Greenfield site in Ballyhahill, County Limerick. Thirty years on, the company has grown from 2 employees to 25 and is still producing the same quality products, with the same passion.
Kearney's Home Bakery set out to examine and reduce their packaging used and look at more environmentally friendly / recyclable packaging especially for their new products and source 100% of their packaging from suppliers with sustainability certification by 2023, from a baseline of 23% in 2018. Kearney's Home Bakery are committed to source 90% of their Raw Materials from suppliers with recognized sustainability certificates by 2023 from a baseline of 40%.
