Ardagh, Church Cross, Skibbereen

As well as producing the seed for Brown Envelope Seeds this is an organic beef farm on the estuary of the Ilen river. There is a garden and 2 polytunnels used for seed production, grassland for beef production and 5ha of newly planted woodland. Also of interest is a wetland used for sewage treatment, a young orchard and a hedge laid in the January 2004 workshop. There will be a plant swap and sale to raise funds for Growing Awareness.

  • Seeds for sale.
  • Bring plants to swap!

Directions Go West on the Skibb to Ballydehob road for about 4 miles to Church Cross.
