Dairy Farms

Sample Dairy Tour (Three Day)

Arrive in Dublin.
You will be greeted by a Farm Tours Ireland friendly guide.

Ireland is very diverse in its dairy production systems. Small efficient family farms producing milk from the green pastures are the most common sight. In contrast to this, the first farm to visit will be a high production, 500 cow herd in the Dublin region using all the latest technology in breeding, feeding, housing and milking.
We will then visit a milk processing facility to see how the Irish dairy processing sector has evolved.
Stay in one of the local hotels. Experts can be arranged to give you an insight into dairy farming in Ireland. Dine at the hotel and relax for the evening.
Travel south to Ireland’s premier grassland region and visit one of the many family farms that are employing the latest models of grass grazing management and breeding strategies that will help implement our imminent rapid industry expansion.

No visit would be complete without a trip to Teagascs world famous research in dairy technology centre in Moorepark, Cork. Research carried out here has been adopted mainly from New Zealand production systems and has been modelled to suit Irish conditions.
