Perched on the picturesque Carrig Rua Hill in North Wexford, just behind his parents’ home, Anthony’s tiny edible garden is home to over 500 varieties of organic heritage seeds and plants.

What began in the year of 2016 with a polytunnel, a ‘handful’ of organic seeds, a lively compost heap, and a few feathered friends, Anthony’s edible garden has blossomed into a vibrant tapestry of curiosity, biodiversity, and flavour full of hope and possibilities.

Depending on the weather and the flavour of the harvest, some garden produce is preserved into condiments like spices, vinegars, chutneys, sauces, jams, jellies, syrups, and drinks.

Stepping into Anthony’s pantry is like embarking on a culinary adventure of old and new Irish flavours. It is full of vats, barrels, bottles, and jars maturing away. Subject to the yearly harvest, he might make the same product twice or something entirely new.

Our Edible Garden Honesty Farm Shop, located at the bottom of the driveway, is open seven days a week. The online store sends parcels far and wide.

You can find a wide range of products, from limited-edition bottles and jars to colourful herbs, fruit and vegetables, rainbow eggs, potted plants, garden seeds, and much much more. Once the products are sold out, you must wait for the following year or the year after. Who knows what the weather will bring?

A new place for living, a smallholding, a home for sharing, a garden and workshop where chefs, farmers, producers, artists, writers, and other creatives can escape, hide, breathe, energise, and get time to dream and, most importantly, grow, cook, and eat.

It will be an edible forest of new and old Irish flavours where you never know who you might meet, what you might taste, or what might happen, adding an element of excitement to your stay.
