The Apple Farm is located in county Tipperary
in the south of Ireland. Apples have been grown in this area for
hundreds of years, and since 1968 we have been planting more
orchards to increase our supply. As well as apples, we grow
pears, plums, sweet cherries, strawberries and raspberries. We
also have a Camping and Caravan Park on the farm. And when we
are not busy with this, you will find us making apple juice, and
mixed juices from our other fruits; all done here on the farm.
We even make a sparkling apple juice, and cider vinegar here
too.
We have a farm shop from which our produce is available all year
round.
