Oliver Moore: Drumanilra gets its full organic licence

Justina and Liam Gavin’s Drumanilra farm in Roscommon will get its full organic licence tomorrow.

This is especially important to the couple as they sell their own meat directly.

Last week we looked at the farm: they stock traditional British and Irish breeds in beef (Dexter), pork (Berkshire, Tamworth) and sheep ( Jacob, Shetland) on 40 acres near Boyle, Co Roscommon. Focused on self-sufficiency as well as the market, they also stock small flocks of hens, geese, ducks and turkeys, and grow their own vegetables.
