Castlefarm Open Day

Castlefarm organic farm, outside Narraghmore is inviting people for a free farm tour on Sunday 8th of February at 2pm. According to Jenny Young, "As farmers and organic food producers we are delighted to be able to show people where their food comes from. At Castlefarm we produce organic milk, eggs and vegetables and we also make our own organic cheese and seasonal preserves. The tour will include meeting some of the Castlefarm animals and learning more about the Castlefarm garden and organic farming system.

The Castlefarm open day will also provide information on the Castlefarm organic allotments, which are the first of their kind in the country. So far 26 eager gardeners have signed up for the Castlefarm allotment and organic gardening courses.


Further information is available by calling Castlefarm Shop at 059-8636948 or email jenny@castlefarmshop.ie. Castlefarm is situated on Peter and Jenny Young's dairy farm on the outskirts of Narraghmore, just 7 miles from Athy and 7 miles from Kilcullen.
