Flahavan’s Organic Oats

Sustainability has always been a major part of the Flahavan’s story. Since the 1780s, when the original waterwheel drove the mill, there has been a company-wide commitment to working in harmony with nature and minimising the company’s impact on its environment and community. Flahavan’s only use conventional oats that are cultivated in Ireland. Many of the local producers have long-standing historical links with Flahavan’s which plays a significant role in the company’s sustainability journey. New organic producers are being sought after with great effort. The Flahavan family participated in a successful government lobbying effort to restart the organic scheme. At Flahavan’s, by increasing the proportion of organic oats sourced from 65% in 2020 to 87% in 2021, the company overachieved its 66% Origin Green plan milestone by 21%
