I left Dublin to take over my uncle’s farm in 2000 and set about converting it to organic later that same year. I was lucky to be able to persuade Alison to join me in 2003, who later consented to be my wife. Our peaceful life was soon shattered by the arrival of our first child!
In its day there was a thriving kitchen garden and orchard at the farm; we have been planting heritage apple trees over the last few years and enjoyed a very modest harvest this year. Our kitchen garden, which is Ali’s project, now produces potatoes, carrots, onions and parsnips to name but a few and supplies much of our household needs. We hope that it will also be able to supply our customers in the future.
We are very lucky to have such a scenic farm decorated with mature trees and bordered by the river Nore set in the rolling countryside of Co. Laois. In the near future we hope we shall be able to welcome visitors to our farm.
