Green Pastures takes on a new supplier

Donegal-based processor Green Pastures has reportedly taken on a new supplier in the north coast area.

The new supplier was formerly a LacPatrick supplier with an estimated milk pool in excess of two million litres per annum.

Last month, LacPatrick lost three suppliers from the same region who switched to supplying Aurivo from 1 July.
