About Us.
Curraghmore Farm is a 1200 acre mixed family farm and is found in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Kerry nestled beneath Ireland's highest mountain, Carrauntoohil. The farm is one of the last in Ireland to be connected to the electricity grid (in 1978) due to its isolated location, in the Black Valley, on the edge of the Killarney National Park.
In 1997, we set to work with the help of friends to nurture the land back to health after deforestration and years of intensive sheep grazing. Our aim is to provide people with the finest quality food, produced honestly and naturally with animal welfare at its heart. We set to plant native broadleaf woodlands, reinstate miles of hedgerows, lay fencing and re-introduce rare (native) breeds such as the Kerry cow.
Over time, we hope that natural flora will begin to flourish, and wildlife to return to the area, with bees, birds, and deer being regularly sighted.
In Organic Conversion
Our farm is currently in organic conversion with the Irish Organic Association.
We adhere to strict organic standards when it comes to both animal husbandry and environmental management. We want our customers to be confident that the food they are buying is free from chemicals and has been raised as nature intended.
