Experience Description
On this West Cork Farm tour, you’ll meet innovative farmers, creative food
producers and their vibrant communities. In the farms of West Cork, there is
a continuity of love for the land. Farming is still very much a family affair. You
will immerse yourself in a way of life that’s connected to the seasons. The
West Cork Farm Trail features six local farms where the owners are only too
delighted to welcome you and give you a feel for what their farm is about and
explain the intricacies of farming whether it’s Dairy, Beef or Pork. In addition,
there may perhaps be a demonstration or two plus the possibility of getting
the opportunity to pet a heifer! Experience available in English only.
