The Teagasc organic team has organised three organic dairy farm walks at three locations across the country. These walks are primarily aimed at any farmer who wishes to find out more about organic dairy farming and the potential it may offer them for their farm.
Join us on three commercial organic dairy farms and hear directly from farmers who have successfully made the transition to organic milk production.
Organic dairying can enable farmers to reduce stock numbers and input costs while maintaining, and in some cases increasing, farm profitability.
Please note that the exact location of the farm walks will be sent to registered attendees prior to each event. Places are limited.
