Organic food is produced according to Organic Regulatory Standards and are based on organic farming principles which are committed to working in harmony with nature rather than against nature. Organic Standards are underpinned by the EU law, which ensures the integrity of organic production for Irish and European consumers. Organic farming works within the natural confines of the farming eco-system to provide you with great tasting food!

1. ORGANIC ALWAYS MEANS FREE RANGE AND MORE… BUT FREE RANGE DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN ORGANIC!
   Free range is a very loosely defined term in Ireland. Organic however is stringently defined.
   The only regulated Free Range Farming System in Ireland is for Free Range Poultry. Legislation governing Free range poultry stipulates space requirements, however Organic Poultry legislative space requirements are much greater than those for Free Range Poultry.

2. There is no legislative law/ definition/ inspection system for defining Free Range Beef, Lamb or Pork production in Ireland. Organic production however has Free Range at the Heart of its ethos for optimal Animal Welfare and this is stringently enforced by the Department of Agriculture and Food Officials

3. Under Organic Regulations, Certified Organic Animals are only allowed Organic Feed and are only allowed to roam and graze on certified Organic Agricultural land. There are no GMOs permitted in Organic feed and the land upon which Organic animals graze is not permitted to be sprayed with artificial fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides.
   Free range animals however eat normal agricultural feed which often contains GMOs. The land upon which they roam and graze will likely have been sprayed with fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides all which can end up in the meat you eat.

4. Organic Animals are not permitted to be routinely vaccinated for disease prevention however free range and conventionally reared animals generally are. Under Organic Farming rules Spacious housing and non intensive farming practices are used instead of vaccines to prevent disease spread in organic herds and flocks.

The vast majority of Organic Beef and Lamb is from our own farm. Very occasionally we need to source some beef and lamb from a couple of select local Beef & Lamb producers.

Our Chickens are locally sourced from Ballysax Organic Farm in the Curragh, Co. Kildare

Our pork is sourced from a small number of select Organic Pork Producers as locally as possible.

• Our Beef and Lamb animals are all grass fed on organic pasture.
• During inclement winter months the Cattle are housed and kept warm in spacious housing on straw beds and are fed Organic Silage and are supplemented with our Organic Whole Crop Feed (Organic Barley, Peas & Grass) as well as with Organic Stubble Turnips and Kale which is grown on our own Organic farm.
• Our Organic Lambs are generally out on grass all year round but have access to warm straw bedding housing during inclement weather and lambing season. They are supplemented with our Organic Whole Crop Feed (Organic Barley, Peas & Grass) as well as with Organic Stubble Turnips and Kale which is grown on our own Organic farm.
• Organic Chicken and Pigs are also free ranging, rooting and roaming on Organic Pasture but are supplemented with Certified Organic Grain Feed. For animal welfare reasons; during inclement weather Organic producers are allowed to house the poultry and pigs and during this time they are fed Certified Organic Grain Feed.

Yes! All our Beef and Lamb are 100% grass-fed on certified organic pastures. During winter, we supplement cattle and sheep with our home-grown organic silage, peas, barley, and turnips.

Our chickens and pigs also range freely on organic pasture and receive certified organic non-GMO grain feed. During severe winter weather, animals are housed in spacious barns with deep organic straw bedding.

Unlike conventional “grass-fed” claims that may rely on intensive indoor silage feeding in concrete lots, our livestock enjoy free movement and natural sunlight. Organic standards enforce generous space ratios both on open pasture and in winter housing.

No! See above for what we feed our animals

Our chickens are both free ranging and Organic however we are only allowed to call them Organic, we are not allowed to call them free ranging organic. Organic Free Ranging space is significantly greater than normal free range poultry requirements. See FAO what’s the difference between Free Range and Organic

Our Chickens are Pork are supplemented with an organic grain feed containing mainly Organic Wheat and some Organic Soya Expeller. Organic soya expeller, also known as organic soybean expeller, refers to the byproduct of expeller pressed organic soybeans to extract oil. This process uses mechanical pressure to squeeze the soybeans, separating the oil from the solid dry matter, which becomes the expeller. The resulting expeller is a high-protein by-product suitable for animal feed.

Under organic farming regulations, routine preventive vaccination is strictly prohibited. The foundation of organic health is clean pasture and excellent animal husbandry.

Regulations permit veterinary intervention only when an animal faces a specific health threat, ensuring livestock never suffer unnecessarily. Any allowable treatment must never contain genetically modified ingredients.

In addition, organic regulations mandate strict extended withdrawal periods before any treated livestock can ever enter the organic food supply.

Under organic farming regulations, routine treatment with antibiotics is strictly prohibited. Organic farmers rely on pasture rotation, low stocking densities, and natural immunity as the first line of defense.

If an animal falls ill and natural remedies prove insufficient, our vet may administer targeted medicine to protect the animal’s welfare and prevent suffering. Every treatment is recorded in our official organic veterinary registry.

Crucially, organic standards enforce a mandatory withdrawal period that is triple the conventional requirement. Any animal requiring more than two treatments in a year permanently loses its organic certification and cannot be sold as organic meat.

1. 1. Organic producers must by law have an organic license. Organic Licenses are issued annually. You can see our current Organic License below. To have an organic license to sell Organic Meat the producer is regularly inspected and must comply with a comprehensive paper trail to prove traceability that all animals are organic, as well as maintaining excellent operational hygiene, carry out food sampling, training, pest control etc. The producer must keep all their suppliers current organic certifications on file for unannounced inspections. Both planned and unannounced surveillance inspections are carried out regularly throughout the year to ensure that all producers are in compliance with the Regulations.

1. 1. Part of the Organic inspection process includes an investigation called a ‘Mass Balance’. This looks at the purchases of a specific animal species and then looks at the sales for that same animal species over a specified period. The weights of that meat species brought into the business for processing and the weight of that meat species sales must very closely match to prove that there is not non organic animals being sold as organic.

3. 3. Organic licenses are issued by two different licensing bodies in Ireland (both which implement the same European Organic legislation). The Irish Organic Association and the Irish Organic Trust both issue licenses on behalf of the Department of Agriculture & Food to Organic producers. Licenses are only issued upon satisfactory completion of organic legislative practices. All organic producers must keep a comprehensive paper trail to prove compliance with all Organic legislative requirements. Both the Irish Organic Association and Irish Organic Trust are then rigorously audited by the Department of Agriculture and Food inspectors.

3. 3. All Organic products with a label must have the Leaf Symbol below (either in Black or Green)

You should also look for the logo for the Organic Certification Body & the producers Organic License Number on their Organic License Certificate.
