We’ve included a Natural Food Award in our annual collections since the awards, under the current branding, took over from the Egon Ronay’s Guides in 1997.
Carina and Alex Conyngham's organic farm and ecotourism hub is beautifully situated just across the River Boyne from Slane Castle and the Distillery - and a greenway bridge may link them soon. A great believer in grass roots action for climate change mitigation and environmental protection, Carina is passionate about food and how it is produced. On c.90 acres of organic land, they have Dexter cattle, Tamworth X pigs, Bronze turkeys, and hens for egg production as well as a thriving market garden and agroforestry project with apple, pear and plum trees. Accommodation ranges from yurts and shepherds' huts to en-suite rooms in a straw-bale house, and there’s a farm shop on Thursdays, with new online ordering system. A dream destination for families and anyone with a love of the outdoors and an interest in sustainability.
