About the Holding
Stephens and Janes farm is on an elevated site with fabulous views of Mount Leinster, Graiguenamanagh, and Mount Brandon.
They keep alpacas, horses, donkeys, Herdwick sheep, cattle, and of course 2 pet dogs. Their alpacas arrived a couple of years ago and the herd is growing every year!
There is a lovely peaceful walk by the forest down to the river. On the way, we often see buzzards, kestrels, and our local fox!
