Garden gets to heart of Cork food festival

Construction work has started on a giant food village, complete with its own market garden, mini dairy and micro-brewery, for what organisers predict will be the country’s largest outdoor food festival.

Garden gets to heart of Cork food festival

A 1.5-acre heart-shaped garden will form the spectacular centre-piece of the village which will be built over the next three months for the Munster Agriculture Society (MAS) next to its sprawling Cork Summer Show site in Curraheen, Co Cork.

The garden will symbolise the main concepts behind the event — to love Irish food, to promote healthy eating, and to highlight that Irish food production is at the heart of the economy.
