SUMMARY:Ballybunion Bean Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join the Bean Revolution! Discover innovative ideas that challenge today’s food system and explore how humble beans can lead the way toward sustainability\, healthy soils\, and community empowerment. \n\n\n\nTO BOOK TICKETS CLICK HERE \n\n\n\nThe Ballybunion Bean Festival promises to be one of the highlights of summer 2025. This brand new\, unique festival focuses on the potential of beans as the most fun and climate friendly food for the future. \n\n\n\nThe Ballybunion Bean Festival was born out of Brilliant Ballybunion\, a Creative Climate Action Initiative\, supported by Creative Ireland. While growing food\, nurturing nature\, and creating art together\, the Brilliant Ballybunion team began to imagine a new future for local food production and community resilience in the face of the climate and biodiversity crises. \n\n\n\nThe future is beans! Beans are an amazing source of protein\, perfect for a plant based or a climatarian diet. Beans fix nitrogen in the soil and help local ecosystems to thrive. Beans also provide an opportunity for a new model of food production – from home and community gardens to small and big farmers alike. Growing beans can happen at any scale. \n\n\n\nThe Ballybunion Bean Festival is a blueprint for what is possible – by bringing together local artists\, collaborators\, chefs\, and businesses\, it demonstrates how community action can be intentional\, meaningful\, and fun!! \n\n\n\nFor the last few months\, the community has been growing beans for a feast\, which will be followed by a concert with Sailhym. The Festival will take place within the beautiful woodlands\, gardens and organic meadows of The Barna Way. \n\n\n\nCome join this truly slow food feast. This brand new festival will be gas craic\, full of beans and other corny puns. \n\n\n\nTO BOOK TICKETS CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:'A Dairy Farm - Vibrant with Life' Ask the Farmer Q&A with Joe Roche
DESCRIPTION:Joe Roche is a dairy farmer managing 69 hectares (170 ac) of land near Gorey\, Co. Wexford. With a herd of 115 cows\, he operates a conventional spring and autumn calving system\, milking year-round. He is a derogation farmer and has recently participated in the Ballymoney Stream EIP. As part of that project\, he dug a pond on his land\, which collects water off the road and that he is now delighted to see is full with frogspawn in the Springtime. He ‘likes to see nature growing and developing\, when you were young you would see lizards and eels and you didn’t realise the importance of them at the time. It would be nice to see them coming back’. Participation in the EIP helped achieve that on Joe’s farm. Bat and bird boxes were installed\, and alongside that\, 50 bats were found in a roost in an old farmhouse. Around 5 hectares (12 ac) of the farm are under woodland\, some of which is wet woodland. Joe holds hedgerows in high esteem and is continuously striving to improve their management\, he has ‘been watching hedges for a long time and proper management of the hedges going forward is going to be crucial’. Equally concerned about water quality\, he has signed up for Strathroy’s sustainable water scheme which will be building on the work he has already done to protect the Ballymoney stream in the last few years. These Q&As are supported by NPWS and DAFM

SUMMARY:Heritage Week Walk with Talamh Beo - Lough Mountain farm
DESCRIPTION:Organic Grass Fed Beef & Lamb Farm \n\n\n\nOne thing I have learned in life is that I can choose to make a living without exploiting people or nature. I took that lesson to heart when I returned to Loughatorick to carry on farming where my forefathers had before me.This path has led me to Lough Mountain Farm. \n\n\n\nTogether with my wife Sarah we have been running our Organic farm based on these principles. Our way of life will never make us rich but it will keep the wolf from the door. That is sufficient for us. We take what the Farm gives us and we offer our produce to you at a price that can work for you and for us. We can do this because we are in tune with the land and the animals. We don’t force them to perform beyond what is natural to them and this allows us to keep our costs low and our needs modest. \n\n\n\nOur produce is limited both seasonally and by an aversion to waste. We are aware of the harshness involved in rearing animals for meat and we don’t take any life lightly. By buying our Organic beef and lamb you are contributing \, not only to our livelihood\, but to our way of living and the future of our farm. We hope that you value this connection to your food as much as we do”.
