About
Us
Our goal is to grow food, support biodiversity, build climate resilence and to inspire others to grow their own food.
Our farm is 4 acres, naturally split into two areas. The area that runs along the Thonoge river (An Tonnóg) has been left untouched for many years and is developing into a woodland. This area is minimally managed with natural ecological succession leading the way. Any management that occurs here is aimed at enhancing and creating habitats for wildlife.
The other half is our edible ecosystem consisting of our food forest, vegetable garden and nursery. Biodiversity conservation is our top priority along with self-sufficient, climate-resilient food production and education. We do not use any chemicals and focus upon building healthy soil via the principles of no-dig, mulching and green manures.
The farm is run by Thomas, Laura & Willow. Thomas is a zoologist with a PhD in animal behaviour and conservation. Thomas has years of university teaching experience within Ireland and the UK and possesses a Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) qualification. Laura is a nurse & MLD therapist. Willow is 2 years old and is head of bumblebee and bird spotting. We believe that diverse small scale farms are a critical component in the fight against biodiversity loss and climate change.
Food Forest Nursery
Our mission is to encourage & empower people to grow their own food and create resilient, biodiverse landscapes. Whether you're planting a full-scale food forest, an agroforestry plot, starting a home orchard, or adding a few edible plants to your garden, we offer a selection of fruit and nut trees, berry shrubs, edible perennials, native trees, and wildflowers. Most of our plants are sold bareroot and shipped during dormancy to ensure the best start.
Propagated and grown on-site from proven cultivars and locally collected seed, cuttings and landscape derived materials, our plants are adapted to thrive in our climate. You'll also find species for hedging, windbreaks, shelterbelts, and firewood – all selected to help you build a productive and regenerative ecosystem. Stock is limited for this Winter season, but we’re growing!
