Baking a better future
— One sustainable step at a time

Sustainability Plan

O’Sullivan’s Bakery strives to provide delicious, locally sourced breads while minimising our environmental impact through sustainable practices.

O Sullivans Bakery is a third-generation family bakery, located in Killorglin, Co Kerry. Started in 1952 to create fresh bread and barm bracks for the local area. Passed down through generations, O Sullivans love for bread has continued to today and our breads in the red wrapper are synonymous within Killorglin and its surrounding communities.
