Partnering With Irish Producers
When Ballymaloe House was first opened to the public as a restaurant, local farmers’ wives were encouraged to bring in their surplus produce of blackberries, elderflowers and watercress. While decades have passed since then, the same spirit of cooperation, dedication and freshness lives on.
Today, we partner with a number of local farmers, producers and suppliers to help us deliver our high-quality offering.
Fish & Meat
We buy fish from everywhere. Our lobster and crab shrimp come from small boats in Ballycotton Bay. Rossmore Oysters supply us with the finest Irish oysters. And Frank Hederman provides our smoked mackerel. We buy our shellfish from Kenmare Bay, our mussels from Galway and our scallops from Wexford.
A free-range poultry farm in Ballycotton, run by Clancy’s, is supplying us with poultry, and venison comes from the Galtee Mountains when in season. The beef and lamb are grass-fed, reared on neighbouring farms and prepared by Frank Murphy’s Butchers in Midleton. We produce our own non-intensive, free-range range and organic pork here on our farm.
Fruit And Vegetables
We grow a wide variety of our fruit, vegetables and herbs in our walled garden. What we are not able to grow is supplied by the local growers or at the organic farm at the internationally renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School.
The family-run, organic mushroom farm Garryhinch Mushrooms in Co. Offaly supplies our delicious mushrooms. Patrick Walshe and Willie Scannell from Shanagarry and Ballycotton grow all our gorgeous potatoes. While Kilbrack Farm in North Cork provides us with a huge amount of organic vegetables.
Cheese & Coffee
We offer our guests over 15 types of Irish-produced cheese. These come from small farms from all over Ireland. Some of the best-known of these farms include Cashel Blue, West Cork-made Gubbeen and a locally produced Ardsallagh goat cheese.
For coffee, we do not have to go far. Our rich coffee beans are supplied by an artisan coffee roastery named The Golden Bean, which is located on the estate.
