Private Dairy Farm Tour and Traditional Irish Cooking with a Delightful Family

Private
About this activity
A fun, warm and loving couple, Sharon and Andrew make you feel like part of the family the moment you enter their home. Andrew runs the family-owned dairy that produces milk for the famous Kerry Gold butter! Sharon’s biggest passion in life is cooking for her family and friends.
Her cooking knowledge was gained through years of experience, first from her mother and as she worked in the hospitality industry all over the world. Her interest in hospitality took Sharon all the way to Singapore to open an Irish pub. Sharon is known to brew her own kombucha and milk kefir and makes soft cheese and yogurt from milk produced from their farm.
The couple lives on a farmhouse with their three children who are equally enthusiastic in the kitchen. The family farms beside the famous working monastery, Glenstal Abbey and close to the Wild Atlantic Way, and enjoy sharing with travelers stories about their family farm, its history and the advantages of a seasonal production system.
Please note: If you decide to make a stew (and you chose the dairy farm tour), you might start your cooking class before breaking for your farm tour to take advantage of the time it takes to prepare the stew.

My husband and I did this tour and totally loved it! Sharon and Andrew were lovely and welcoming. I enjoyed the cooking part of the day as well as the farm tour. I’m a city girl and learned so much about the dairy farm business. We would highly recommend this tour!!! If I could give more stars I would!
