Celebrating Women in Agriculture: A Wonderful Day Showcasing Áine’s Handmade Chocolate

We were delighted to take part in this year’s Women in Agriculture Conference, proudly supported by the Irish Farmers Journal, alongside fantastic Irish producers including Wexford Home Preserves and Simply Better at Dunnes Stores. It was an inspiring day filled with conversation, connection, and the incredible energy of women driving Irish agriculture and food innovation forward.

A Proud Moment for Irish Food Producers

The event provided the perfect platform for local businesses — from artisan food makers to agricultural innovators — to come together and celebrate the role women continue to play in shaping Ireland’s food and farming landscape.

We were honoured to showcase a range of Áine’s Handmade Chocolate bars, each crafted in Co. Cavan with the same care, quality, and dedication that has defined our brand for over 20 years. Seeing attendees engage with our products, ask questions, and share their own stories made the day truly memorable.

Connecting With Fellow Irish Makers

One of the highlights was spending time with the teams behind Wexford Home Preserves and Simply Better at Dunnes Stores. Events like this remind us how strong and supportive the Irish food community is — a network built on passion, respect, and a shared commitment to quality.

Together, we celebrated the best of Irish craftsmanship and the individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes to bring outstanding products to shelves across the country.

Championing Women in Business & Agriculture

The conference shone a spotlight on the many women leading farms, food businesses, and agricultural enterprises across Ireland. Áine and the team were proud to stand among them, promoting local enterprise, sustainable food production, and the importance of supporting Irish-made products.

As a woman-founded and woman-led business, Áine’s Handmade Chocolate is deeply connected to this mission. It was inspiring to meet so many talented women who share the same passion for quality, tradition, and innovation.

A Heartfelt Thank You

To everyone who stopped by our stand — thank you. Your support, feedback, and enthusiasm mean the world to us. Events like these fuel our commitment to creating exceptional chocolate and championing Irish producers at every opportunity.

We look forward to seeing you again at future events and continuing to celebrate the strength and creativity of Ireland’s food and farming community.
