Áit Dúlra Organic Farm, meaning place of nature, is a 26 acre farm registered organic with IOA since 1999. The farm is also registered with DAFM to hold cattle, sheep and equines. You will also find a forestry enterprise, six horse stables and two commercial poly-tunnels, as well as an orchard and soft fruit trees. There are 13.5 acres of mature forestry and a walking and trekking path has been established on one of these parcels.
The farm is also part of the GLAS scheme (The Green, Low-Carbon Agri-Environment Scheme) which is part of the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020. It provides funding to farmers in return for delivering environmental management on their land.
Having lived abroad for 15 years John has worked with many nationalities and people of diverse social backgrounds.
