About:

Barrie Quinn is the founder of Portnoo Market Garden, a small, chemical-free farm on the west coast of Donegal. After discovering his passion for growing food while working in Australia, Barrie returned home with his wife Yuka to start the garden—now known for its seasonal produce and strong community roots. He’s a leading voice in the “Grow Your Own” movement, inspiring hundreds of thousands online to reconnect with food and nature. Through his hands-on approach and honest storytelling, Barrie has built more than a garden—he’s grown a movement.
