We are a small
Organic holding on the south coast of Ireland. We grow fruit and vegetables
for ourselves, but we no longer grow for the local markets. We grow without
the use of chemical or animal inputs. We aim to live and produce food in an
environmentally sustainable way. We grow a wide
range of fruit and vegetables. We use environmentally sustainable methods
such as crop rotation, intercropping, incorporation of Rock Dust and
agro-forestry. We realise that
everything in life is a compromise, but also that you are only limited by
your imagination. Our holding and
our diet are plant based. The main reason for this is that animal agriculture
is a bigger contributor to world ecological destruction than air travel. We are doing, in
our own small way, what we can to work towards a future in which we can all
live without destroying the planet. Read more about
the way we live and how we run our holding on our page About us. We aim to spread
knowledge of the benefits of plant based agriculture and of adopting a
simpler life, if you would like to stay with us to learn a bit about a more
ecological life we can offer food and accommodation in exchange for Voluntary
work. Contact us at: ballyroe@eircom.net
