Broughgammon Farm
The Cole family at Broughgammon Farm are pretty forward thinking people. They inherited a 50 acre farm in 2002 and after building a sustainable home they turned their attention towards the land. Their aim is to provide local, sustainable and affordable food.
The spanish have long known how nice roasted kid is and the Cole brought this to Ireland in 2011 when their introduced their goat herd. Its a lean, tender and sweet meat, being a great alternative to lamb and low in cholesterol.
Free Range Rose Veal is the next big thing from the farm, being a lean and extremely tender meat it is rare to find in the UK. All of this can be found in their farm shop and true to form, in a bid to minimise waste they’re even looking at manufacturing products form their animal hides too. Talk about multi taskers!
During the summer months they harvest a selection of seaweed which they package and process, being available at their market stalls. While in the winter they turn towards managing local deer herds, providing seasonal wild venison fit for a king. As well as this there is a selection of locally sourced sustainable seasonal wild game including rabbit, duck, pigeon and pheasant besides the venison.
The Broughgammon team will be at farmers markets every month as follows:
