Dutch Organic Dairy Farmers Enjoy A West Cork Farm Experience

3rd September 2018 by West Cork Experiences

dairy farmers ireland

A group of Dutch organic dairy farmers from Friesland visited West Cork last week to learn more about dairy farming in Ireland

Their tour, organised by West Cork Experiences, gave them the opportunity to learn about dairy farming practices in Ireland – from cutting edge research to life on the ground here in West Cork. The visit was hugely enjoyed by the visiting farmers and their Irish counterparts, who relished the chance to exchange views and ideas with other EU dairy farmers. The group also had the opportunity to visit Teagasc’s Moorepark facility and meet Alan Jagoe (National President Macra Na Feirme 2011-13; President CEJA 2015-17; Teagasc Authority 2013-18).

Our Dutch visitors found time to enjoy some of the great hospitality and artisan produce West Cork has to offer too, bringing their own cheese with them to exchange with their Irish hosts!

Star Wars Film Locations in West Cork

3rd April 2018 by West Cork Experiences

West Cork was chosen as one of the locations for filming Star Wars: The Last Jedi in Ireland and it’s not hard to see why!

West Cork’s Brow Head on the Mizen peninsula – with its dramatic cliffs and views stretching across the Atlantic – was one of the spots cast and crew got to spend time in when filming took place in 2016.

Our Edge of the Galaxy Tours are now available as bespoke tour. Get in touch to start planning your trip!
