Acorn’s Focus

  • Quality – From the outset the decision was taken not to go down the road of selling basic “bog- standard” products that can be picked up in any merchants yard around the country. The Group decided to produce, to brand & to promote only the very best quality under the Acorn brand. Whether that be nutritional solutions for your dairy cows or pesticide programmes for your crops, our approach is to take the long term view. We aim to make lasting progress, so you can be certain that you are getting only the very best quality available.
  • Technical Superiority – There are over 40 technical sales people within the Acorn Independent Merchant group. The majority of these hold B.Agr.Sc. qualifications from University College Dublin. Practically all come from farming background and many are themselves heavily involved in farming. This means they have an innate understanding and knowledge of all aspects of modern farming. They are there to provide you with the most up to date and technically proficient advice available, and to help you our customer deliver maximum profit and long term viability from your farming enterprises.
  • Reliability– Each member of the group is an independent, family owned, company, with a long history and proven track record in the Irish farm inputs arena. Between them, they buy over 350,000 tonnes of grain from Irish farmers annually. They are deeply embedded in their own farming communities, they value their customers greatly and they are totally committed to the long term viability of your farming operation.
