Gort Na Nain


I bet all of you know Cafe Paradiso and Denis Cotter - if so, you will have eaten vegetables from Ultan Walsh's farm Gort Na Nain.

Our next event will bring us to Kinsale where his farm is located (driving instructions will be given when booking). On Saturday 20th June Ultan will show us around his farm where we will be able to see unusual vegetables and how he grows them organically (you might want to have a look at Denis Cotter's latest cookbook which is based on Ultan's farm).Ultan will tell us all about his start as a farmer and the challenges he faced going organic. Questions are of course more than welcome and we will also be treated to a lovely lunch.

As the farm is very busy - especially around this time of the year - we need to start quite early with our tour and will meet at the farm at 11:30 (parking is provided for).

Place are limited, so booking is essential. Please - as always - send Caz an email on ccslowfood@gmail.com to secure your place for his amazing event.

Price for Slow Food Members €20, non members €30. Children €5

This is a great opportunity to see a farmer at his best and learn about organic farming and of course, get some amazing food in the process - what better way to spend a Saturday lunch
