Producers aim to supply quality Burren meat

A PIONEERING farming and food partnership, based on the Burren’s unique natural heritage, aims to become the leading producer of quality beef and lamb from the region.

Burren Beef and Lamb Producers’ Group members headed by Thomas Holmes, chairman, actively farm for conservation in the Burren.

They want to ensure the region’s long-term sustainability through the production of ‘conservation grade’ quality beef and lamb from the Burren habitats. Group members completed an intensive three-month training course earlier this year, co-ordinated by Ruairí Ó Conchúir, BurrenLIFE Project, with financial support from LEADER and technical support from Joanne Brannigan in Teagasc.
