About Our Food

From Farm to Fork

The Ballymaloe menu is based on the food from our own farms or producers in the locality. Local farmers supply us with poultry, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, chickens & turkeys.

We keep our own free-range hens for a guaranteed fresh supply of eggs & also have recently taken to rearing our own free-range pigs on the farm. All our lamb & beef is grass-fed, reared on neighbouring farms & slaughtered by local family butchers.

Our pork & poultry is locally produced, non-intensive, free range or organic.
