In 1996 when Lough Boora Farm converted to organics, we began a horticultural enterprise to cover the cost of taking on a second person. We started with 1 ha of veg and 1 polytunnel. Twenty years on, we grow almost 5 has of veg annually including 7 large polytunnels. And the farm employes six on the horticultural side. Our focus is on direct selling of farm produce to the end consumer.
