A Sustainable Family Farm

The taste of our herds milk and farmhouse cheese is unique to our farm, to our farming practices and our traditional methods of cheesemaking, expressing terroir in the true sense of the word.

Bó Rua Farm is located near the village of Ballynoe, near Fermoy. Our family have lived at Bó Rua Farm for at least five generations.  The farm is within the catchment of the Bride Valley.

We are proud to have been one of the forty-four local farms involved in the innovative BRIDE (Biodiversity Regeneration in a Dairy Environment) Project. With the guidance of an ecologist we have chosen tailored biodiversity measures that suit our farm, to conserve, enhance and restore natural habitats.

In 2024 Bó Rua Farm was awarded the Sustainable Rural Enterprise Award at the prestigious RDS Sustainability Awards, learn more at this  link.
