Minister Sargent announced today that he would be bringing a large number of food growers and distributors on a trip to visit a state-of-the-art organic farm in Co. Offaly. The visit will take place on Tuesday, July 15th.
Over a dozen local food producers will join Trevor on an escorted tour of the farm of Philip Dreaper in Birr, Co. Offaly. This farm is extremely highly regarded in the organic fraternity and the envy of farmers north and south, organic and traditional. Transport will be laid on and a very informative and enjoyable day is certain.
If anyone else would like to come along, they can book a place by contacting the office on (01) 607 2361 or by email to lorcan.otoole@agriculture.gov.ie.
