Taste the Nation: This West Cork farming family turned their passion into a thriving business 

Owned by Valerie and Alan Kingston, Glenilen Farm produces fresh dairy produts using local milk.

The story of family-owned food producer Glenilen Farm began in the kitchen of Valerie and Alan Kingston’s home in Drimoleague in 1997.

“We had no intention of starting a business, really. It was pin money, and it was a hobby and a passion,” Valerie says. “But we saw the potential and we’re very glad that it has grown into a business.”
