We are thrilled to announce that the inaugural Farming for Nature Festival (FFN) is taking place at Ballykilcavan Farm & Brewery, Stradbally, Co. Laois on the 22nd and 23rd June 2026.
This farmer-led gathering aims to provide a space for farmers to learn, connect, share knowledge, and explore practical, nature-based approaches to farming. The focus will be on real stories from farmers – the successes and the challenges and show how good food begins with good farming. By involving a wide network of partners, we want to inspire change and grow the movement of farmers and producers working with nature.
Head over to our website for all of the festival info including tickets, accommodation options and line up of events. Keep an eye on our social media over the coming months for festival updates.
The festival is led by Farming for Nature, a national farmer network established by Burrenbeo Trust. Core partners BASE Ireland and National Organic Training Skillnet play a central role in shaping a programme that is practical, relevant and solutions focused.
The Farming for Nature Festival 2026 is supported by Shared Island Civic Society Fund, Lifes 2 Good Foundation, National Parks and Wildlife Service and Dept of Agriculture, Food and Marine.
