ALDI Ireland has announced the 2025 winners of its Grow with ALDI programme, with three Irish producers from counties Cavan, Dublin, and Tyrone set to have their products available in ALDI stores nationwide from January 8.

The announcement comes as ALDI opens applications for the 2026 programme, inviting innovative Irish food producers to apply by January 30 for the chance to bring their products to shelves across the country. 

This year’s winners were chosen following a nationwide callout that saw emerging food and drinks producers from all over Ireland apply to take part.

In September, 30 finalists were shortlisted and saw their products go on sale in ALDI stores nationwide as part of a two-week ‘Specialbuys’ promotion, with the three winners coming out on top as high performers and fan favourites. 

Winners

The Grow with ALDI 2025 winners are: 

Barry John Sausages - a family-run business based in Lurganboy, Co. Cavan, specialising in artisanal sausages made using Bord Bia Certified pork;
Supernature Snacks - a Dublin-based business that creates delicious chocolate snacks made with natural ingredients;
Oatco Superfuel - a Co. Tyrone-based business producing a range of oat-based energy balls.

Speaking about the win, Barry Crowe of Barry John Sausages said: “As a family-run business, this opportunity means so much to us and represents a huge milestone in our journey.

"Seeing our Chip Shop Curry Sausages land on shelves nationwide is incredibly exciting, and we’re very grateful to ALDI and the Grow team for their support throughout the process.”

Noele McEvoy of Supernature Snacks said: “The programme has been an amazing platform for our business and having the chance to bring our delicious treats to a national audience is a huge achievement for us.

"We’re incredibly thankful to ALDI for believing in our products and supporting small Irish producers, and we hope ALDI shoppers love our snacks as much as we do.”

Laura Murphy of Oatco Superfuel said: “Being selected as a Grow with ALDI winner is a huge vote of confidence for our business.

"Oatco was created to deliver great-tasting energy using simple, wholesome ingredients, and having the opportunity to bring that to shoppers nationwide is incredibly rewarding.”

Speaking about the announcement, Rachael O’Connor, buying director at ALDI Ireland, said: “We are delighted to announce this year’s Grow with ALDI winners, showing just how much talent and innovation exists across Ireland.

"Seeing their products make it to shelves nationwide is what the programme is all about, and now we’re encouraging the next wave of Irish producers to take that leap and apply for 2026.”
