SINCE 1936

A warm Kildare welcome

A farm made for slowing down.

Our third-generation family farm is buggy and wheelchair accessible and only five minutes from the M7. Stroll around the Open Farm, meet and feed the animals, enjoy the onsite activities, refuel in the Tractor Café and take farm-fresh food home from the shop.

Open Farm entry is complimentary with a pre-booked ticket, so every visit can begin with a relaxed welcome.
