Picnic Tour Of Glenbrook Farm

Enjoy a fascinating family-friendly tour and picnic at Glenbrook Farm with farm owner Peter Twomey and Brian McCarthy from Cork Rooftop Farm. Meet at Cork Rooftop Farm on Cornmarket Street, a positive example of the future of Irish horticulture, giving access to locally grown organic fresh food. You will then hop on a bus to Glenbrook Farm in White’s Cross to see Brian’s 60 acres of organic vegetables, which aims to feed Cork. Half an acre of this land has been dedicated to growing many varieties of beans and Brian will talk about why growing them is beneficial for soil health and for healthy diets. Kids will also have the opportunity to pick their own sunflowers. Next you will meet Peter Twomey, owner of Glenbrook Farm, to hear about the free-range pig enterprise he developed from a hobby before enjoying a delicious farm picnic with homemade sausage rolls, sandwiches, salads and Glenillen yoghurts. Those who opt for the bus will be dropped back to Cork’s Rooftop Farm.
