• Farm visit - Glen South Farm
  Aine McSweeney is now the 4th generation farmer of Glen South. Committed to producing the highest quality beef. Everything is focused on the wellbeing and welfare of animals and controlling the impact on the environment. Their relaxed cattle have fresh food as required with an "a la carte" nutritional menu. Glen South meat carries full Bord Bia Quality Assurance. What makes Glen South Farm different is the foresight and confidence for the farm’s future and that of the Irish beef industry. The farm is currently home to a herd of 340 top quality heifers with a plan to increase to 1000 at full capacity. Taking an innovative step into the future, in January 2014 a Lely Vector automatic feeding system was installed at Glen South Farm - the first of its kind for beef cattle in Europe, in conjunction with a state-of-the-art handling system. Efficient beef production largely depends on feeding the herd consistently, timely and sufficiently. The assistance of the Vector delivers on all the above. The consistent availability of fresh feed at the fence increases feed intake, growth rate and ensures a dependable quality and live weight gain.

From commercial beef production we move next to niche Wagyu Beef farming.

Abalone are a highly-prized shellfish delicacy, especially now that they have become scarce in most countries around the world where they used to be plentiful. Having been introduced to Ireland in the 1980s, abalone are now farmed commercially by several producers in Ireland, including Connemara Abalone in Galway and TowerAqua in Cork.

Kylemore is home to a community of nuns of the Benedictine Order who came here in 1920 after their abbey in Ypres, Belgium was destroyed in World War I.
