A family company producing award-winning in Ireland for over six generations. He was charged for this service.

There has been an oats mill at Kilmacthomas since the late 1700's. The power for the mill came from the nearby river Mahon which at one time also powered four other mills between its source in the Comeragh Mountains and joining the sea at Bonmahon. In the early days, the mill was used for the contract milling of oats for local farm growers and oatgrowers. This is where the farmers oats were then m

illed and the milled oatmeal was returned to him. In the early days the oatmeal was a heavier type than the Flahavan's "flaked" oatmeal that can be bought in the shops today. In 1935 it was decided to expand the mill and to put in an oatflaking facility. Oatflaking produced a finer flake, which is faster to cook. Since then, Flahavan's have gone from strength to strength, so that today Flahavan's Progress Oatlets is the leading porridge oats brand in Ireland. Today, the Flahavan's are the sixth generation to run the business - one of the last such family businesses in the country - with John Flahavan as Chairman of the company. Flahavan's porridge has a distinctive texture and taste because all of the oats used in the making of Flahavan's are grown locally, chosen from a select panel of growers. The region around Kilmacthomas has it's own micro-climate, nestling beneath the shelter of the Comeragh mountains while also being relatively close to the sea. This means that the area does not get very cold winters, which gives a better quality oat grain. Flahavan's also utilise a unique milling process in the plant which gives the product a special character in terms of texture and taste. The original Irish breakfast cereal, it is a totally natural product, which is not genetically modified in any way. Generations of our customers have been enjoying that taste for over 200 years.

As Flahavan’s continued to grow, so did our focus on renewable energy. In 2015, we installed our 500kW wind turbine, which is now our biggest power generator!

Today, it produces approximately 1.44 million kWh of clean electricity every year, supplying around 70% of our total energy needs ⚡🌾

Start your weekend off with a savoury oat based breakfast - Cheese and Oat Hash Browns
Served with Vine-Roasted Tomatoes, Crispy Bacon and Portobello Mushrooms😋

See the full recipe below👇

INGREDIENTS:

4 medium-sized baking potatoes, baked and cooled
80g Flahavan’s Organic Oats
65g Cheddar cheese, grated
1 tsp fresh thyme
40g butter
300g tomatoes, on the vine
300g portobello mushrooms
8 rashers of streaky bacon
Salt and pepper, to taste
Glug of olive oil

METHOD:

1. Peel then grate the pre-cooked baked potatoes. Mix the gratedpotato with Flahavan’s Oats, cheddar cheese and thyme. Season generously.

2.Heat half the butter and a splash of olive oil in a medium-sized, non-stick pan over a medium-low heat.

3. Once sizzling, add the oat and potato mixture to the pan. Fry for a couple of minutes, then gently pat the mixture down with the back of a spoon so it forms a flat round cake. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

4. Next, carefully place a large plate on top of the frying pan and invert so the hash brown sits cooked-side-up on the plate.

5. Add the remaining half of the butter and another splash of oil to the frying pan, then slide the hash brown back into the pan to cook the other side.

6. While the hash brown is cooking, pre-heat the grill to medium.

7. Line a baking tray with foil and arrange the tomatoes, mushrooms and streaky bacon on the tray. Grill for 10-15 minutes until the bacon is crispy.
