  Description

  We are Nicholas (Irish) and Barbara (German) and we live near one of the most beautiful beaches in Ireland. Nicholas is an organic gardener for over 30 years and an ambassador for Farming for Nature for the last 6 years. We are deeply committed to nature and the environment and our small holding has a nature first emphasis in everything we do. Barbara is a holistic therapist. Together we organise the place around self-sufficiency and creating the best biodiversity possible. If you love rural living and want to learn about organic vegetable growing you are very welcomed.
