Nestled in the heart of the Ox Mountains, this is an organic sheep farm where Christmas trees are also grown for the local market. The family home is over 100 years old and is surrounded by mature trees which is a great asset for wildlife.
The family first became interested in Valais Blacknose Sheep when their daughter fell in love with them at the Balmoral Show in Belfast. Subsequently they bought two sheep in 2022 and the flock has been increasing each year since then.
Walking with alpacas is a firm favourite with visitors to Ireland so now there is another option – walking with Valias Blacknose Sheep, the cutest sheep in the world.
