Mileeven was started in 1988 by Eilis Gough from her hobby of beekeeping. Having a surplus of honey one year, Eilis went down the route of packing the produce for the local shops and so Mileeven began.

Unfortunately due to the unpredictable nature of Ireland’s weather, a consistent supply of honey was not guaranteed and so Eilis looked further afield to widen the product range.

A range of speciality honeys was developed which was the first such range in Ireland as were a range of Organic Preserves. Mileeven has won numerous Great Taste Awards and a SHOP Award.

Products and business methods are still run true to the initial ethos behind Mileeven of quality, tradition and innovation.
