ON AIR WITH ORLA RAPPLE ON BEAT 102 103

Anthony recently joined Orla Rapple on The Sunday Grill on Beat 102 103 to chat about Fat Tomato, his recent 2025 Blás na hÉireann Producers’ Champion award, and picking up 2026 Wexford Innovator of the Year at the Leinster heats of the Irish Restaurant Awards.

In conversation, Anthony shared the story of Fat Tomato — an edible garden, honesty shop, and online store in North Wexford — and how it has grown into a project rooted in biodiversity, heritage varieties, and flavour-first growing.

The interview explored the thinking behind the project: from seed saving and growing for taste rather than yield, to the role small-scale producers can play in shaping a more connected and resilient Irish food culture.
