Historically dairy was a large part of Irish Farmers livelihood. This dairying tradition mixed with the worlds highest quality and fast growing grass caused by Ireland's temperate oceanic climate ensures dairy farming stays a large part of rural Ireland's identity.
Fresh milk, cheese, butter, whole & skim milk powders, casein, whey and infant formulae are produced from Irish Dairy all over the country from the local fresh drinking liquid milk market to multinational produce from the likes of Kerrygold, Pfizer and Danone.
We can also include visits to some of these specialist companies that move the milk products up the value chain before exporting their products across the world.
Irish Dairy herds average around 50 heads. This is much lower than competing herds in the USA & Australia. The recent removal of EU mandated Milk quotas mean the amount of cows in a herd will rise.
Visiting Diary Farms in Ireland now means you can see what goes in to getting the superior yields that allowed Ireland to compete on the global scale in the last 30 years while also observing the transition that is expected as large Dairy Farms add more to the herd and the small dairy farm becomes possible again.
Like all major Irish farming categories, dairy farmers are dedicated to protecting and maintaining the dairy industry, its systems, families and animals. Our Dairy Farm tours allow your clients to observe all aspects of the Irish dairy farm sustainable and continuous improvement programme.
Irish dairy farms are adapting to meet the changing tastes of the worlds dairy consumers. Come and see the modern practices that put Ireland above all others in the creation of new products and producing the highest yields.
