The efforts of a Clare-based organisation to preserve rare vegetable seeds for future generations will feature in an upcoming video series.
Leviathan, a nine-part travel and cooking series, celebrates the country’s vibrant creative culture, showcasing the stories of wild food foragers, artisan makers, organic farmers, and musicians.
Produced independently by BYOC Films and led by chef, musician, and photojournalist James Gabriel Martin, the series explores the deep connections between Ireland’s heritage, traditions, and sustainability.
The series premieres this spring, with its first episode highlighting Woodcock Smokery in West Cork, where Sally-Ferns Barnes, an icon in sustainable food practices, shares her expertise in preserving wild fish.

Subsequent episodes feature inspiring Irish creators, including the Irish Seed Savers from Scariff – Guardians of Ireland’s heritage apple varieties and seed bank, preserving rare vegetable seeds for future generations.
Commenting ahead of the release of the first episode, James Gabriel Martin said: “I’ve spent my working life travelling the world, first as a freelance photojournalist with clients such as Lonely Planet and the BBC, and then as a touring musician. Visiting so many diverse places brings with it a real sense of perspective, and I have always been drawn home to what makes Ireland special.“
He added: “We have something truly special here, a spirit of creativity and kinship, especially when it comes to food and culture, and I wanted to meet the champions of these things.”
Through stunning visuals, intimate interviews, and hands-on demonstrations, Leviathan captures Ireland’s unique blend of creativity, community, and connection to the land.
Leviathan will debut on YouTube and on LeviathanFood.com.
